Hi
I started in a job 4 years ago. When I started the manager agreed that I could take a shorter lunch break so that I could leave earlier. Somebody else recently asked for a shorter lunch break and we were all told that we cannot take shorter lunch breaks to facilitate leaving earlier. When I joined the company it was in the process of being taken over but I was never warned that my original arrangement would be invalid. Does anyone know about employee rights in this area? Do you have to take a full hour off at lunchtime? I'd be very grateful for any advice. thanks
