Hello all I’m after some advice if anyone could help. I work in a physical job and have type 1 diabetes and suffer with depression. My boss has changed our breaks from a 15 minute break in the morning and 30 minutes for lunch to just a 30 minute break for lunch which we don’t get paid for as most businesses. I’m not saying anything about the not getting paid for it bit I know most people don’t. We didn’t before that’s not the issue. My issue is that because of the physical work I do I need my morning break to eat something to stop hypos and sometimes I have hypos during the day. However he’s saying that I’m contracted to 40hrs a week and must do 40hrs which means I have to stay later to make up the time or make up the time on a weekend. He also does this if I have to go to the doctors for my appointments or for Counciling is this right. I can’t find any information on it under the equality at work act 2010.
Would be grateful of any advice or help to find the information.
Thank you
