[QUOTE="ste, post: 9259699, member: 271"] When I was self employed I billed from time on farm to time off farm, was agreed with everyone I worked for and all were happy with it. But I never took the pee and didn't drag things out. In haulage now and where I am we get paid fully from card in to card out (Owner is meticulus in this and pays to the actual minute on the tacho), so I just crack on and am happy to book a break while waiting to be loaded/tipped and don't stretch things out. Have been at places that do deduct 45 minutes for a break too. I've always made it very clear to them that I will be taking that as a seperate break, i.e don't expect that to be taken while I'm sat in a RDC waiting room for 2 hours as I see that as work and not my break (not my fault the supermarkets want to use your truck as unpaid storage and unload slowly). My rule is simple, and have said it to many employers, if you deduct any time for breaks I will be actually stopped for that time and have my break, regardless of weather or time constraints, pay me straight through and I'll eat on the move if needs be. Never had any issue with anyone I've worked for over that. [/QUOTE]
