Where practicable, every employee covered by this Award shall be entitled to a rest pause of 10 minutes duration in the employer's time in the first and second half of their daily work. Such rest pauses shall be taken at such times as will not interfere with continuity of work, where continuity is necessary:
Provided that where there is agreement between the employer and the majority of employees concerned, the rest pauses may be combined into one 20 minute rest pause, to be taken in the first part of the ordinary working day, with such 20 minute rest pause and the meal break arranged in such a way that the ordinary working day is broken up into 3 approximately equal working periods.
Consent to combine rest pauses shall not be unreasonably withheld by either party.
