The normal hours per week will be 40 hours for all employees who are employed by the employers' party and non-party to this agreement. Tea breaks are included in the 40-hour week, and lunch times are excluded from the 40-hour week.

 

The Parties agree that no unilateral decision will be taken by employers in respect of averaging hours of work without negotiations with the unions. Existing shift patterns and specific working arrangements will continue to apply.
