This court has ruled on whether coffee and smoke breaks part of the work day

came down last December, but is only attracting attention now, after the Comisiones Obreras union reportedly vowed to appeal it.

According to the latest OECD figures, Spanish workers reported an average of 1,701 hours of work – paid and unpaid – in 2018. That number is in line with the average of 1,708 hours reported in Canada, but well ahead of the U.K., France, Germany and many other countries in Western Europe. The company is able to monitor these breaks because its office has a controlled-access system that logs every time a worker enters the building.

This ruling could set a precedent for other companies in Spain to deduct coffee and smoke breaks from the working day if they do not have explicit agreements to include them.

With everything that's going on right now, both in Canada and internationally, you're telling me that you have nothing better to report on than the nail-biting issue of coffee breaks in .... SPAIN?!?

And does it apply ti Canada where most coffee breaks aren't compensated!

'Coffee and a smoke Break is right after coffee and then before another coffee and smoke when you work outdoors'

Why take a break at all? If the company is stingy enough not to pay you for the 5-10 minutes you take to cool of during the work day, they are not good to work for.

In Spain......

Certainly not for smoking of the cancer stick!

Going back to the dark ages if the new kids can't have a tech break waiting for the corporate robot to take over building pyramids to look at.

The breaks at work are to relieve the stress of monotony smoking relieves stress coffee is relaxing so yes I believe that they are part of everyday work life and I'm sure so does everybody else coffee Drinkers and smokers alike.
