[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1532184, member: 32394"] The equality act provides for reasonable adjustments to be made for employees with disabilities. Type 1 diabetes is a disability under the equality act. It might be reasonable to say a necessary 30 min break to treat a hypo is 30 mins unpaid. But 5 mins unpaid for every blood sugar test, when in reality a blood sugar test takes 20-30 seconds, doesn't seem reasonable to me. Do they make you clock off to go for a wee? Who has made these decisions about your paid time? Has the decision been made by someone aware of their responsibilities under the equality act? Has it been through McDonald's HR? [/QUOTE]
