Unless your contract states different and you are over 18 then its 20 minutes for 12 hours work (Unpaid).
Its 20 minutes for every 6 hours PLUS workedDon't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -

I would expect the employer to be reasonable and flexible re comfort breaks for those individuals working extended shifts - there is no compulsion to provide under WTR's.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0

Well I never....I must have misread that. To be fair 20 minutes is ok for 6 hours (just ok) but more than that it should be more.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0 -

I would have thought you were entitled to 2 x 20 minutes minimum?
Yes, 20 mins once you work 6 hours. That's it.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0 -
Op, what age are you and what type of work are you doing?Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0

Try working in Afghanistan for 12 hours a day, rarely getting a break and NO day off for 7 months.

It's retail and I'm over 18.
Have I got this right if you work a 12 hour shift your only entitled to a 20 min break same as someone who works a 6 hour shift? That can't be right surely0 -

You have to work over 6 hours to be entitled to the 20 mins off.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
