Rest breaks at work

Disputes
Workers who cannot take or are not allowed rest breaks should speak to their manager informally.
Get more information for employees who want to raise a grievance or advice for employers on handling grievances if there is a disagreement about rest breaks.
Workers can also get advice on rest breaks from the Acas helpline.
If a worker cannot solve a problem, they may be able to make a claim to an employment tribunal.
