Can I sue my employer for not allowing me to have a break? Along with discrimination?

sorry, if you work 4 and hour hours, OR more, then you are entitled to a break.
Just to check, you are over 18??
Just because your employer violates their own break policy does not mean you can sue them. Can you really not manage to work 4 and a half hours without a break? I think I'd rather be paid... If I was having the time deducted from my pay but not being allowed to actually take the break, then I'd be complaining.Sealed Pot Challenge #239

Company policy forms part of an employment contract unless a superior source contradicts it, ie, law or employment contract0 -

Most contracts for this type of role specifically mention that your handbook does not form part of the contract.
I have never worked at this retailer, but I would be very shocked if this was different.Sealed Pot Challenge #239

I'm not sure the contract saying that the handbook isn't part of the terms and conditions actually means that it isn't. When I worked as a retail manager the Handbook had to be signed for by employees specifically because it did form part of the terms of employment0 -

Its not rigid. If the contract seeks to exclude the handbook but the handbook is in reality the rules which are followed then the exclusion clause is void.0 -

Laughable, bet you were the kid in school that shouted teacher over nothing as well, class grass if you will.

I went for my hearing the other day, told them want it adjourned because I wanted my union rep.
They didn't seem to happy about it.
Incoming, a bit of advice. If you're fighting for your job and your not in a position of strength, don't p!ss off the disciplinary panel unnecessarily.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0
