Just out of curiosity, are paid meal breaks still available to new starters?  I assumed they went out with the ark and were now legacy benefits.  Or is it the first half hour or so unpaid and the remainder paid?

Redundancy has reared its head again at my current employer, though I'm not currently on the at risk list.  One of the big three will be my next employer, always handy to know what I'll be letting myself in for...

You are right, they are legacy and all new starters are unpaid meal breaks.  Unpaid meal breaks is a 30 min meal break deduction, but there is some conditions where deduction can be up to an hour.
