There are certain jobs like shop work and bar work where opportunities…

working hours
Hi, In the emloyment contract working hours are stated as: 35 hours per week from 8am to 5pm (Mon-Fri) with 1 hour lunch break. But 8am to 5pm (Mon-Fri) with 1 hour lunch break makes 40 hours per week. So which one is correct 35 hours or 8am to 5pm? Do you think there is a mistake in the contract? Thanks in advance.
