All employees, including part-time and casual employees, get 2 paid 10 minute rest breaks per day or shift. The rest breaks count as time worked.

There’s no minimum number of hours an employee has to work to get the rest breaks.

The employer decides what time the rest breaks are taken.

Example

Artie is a casual employee and works a 3 hour shift from 8am to 11am.

Artie is entitled to 2 paid 10 minute rest breaks during their shift.

Artie’s employer decides their rest breaks should be at 9am and 10am.

Artie’s rest breaks are paid and counted as time worked, so Artie is paid for 3 hours’ work.
