Also mentioned the standard working week of 37.5 hours with no mention of tea breaks which in fact equates to a real 35 hour week.
I have not seen a contract or job advert that ever mentions tea breaks. As I understand it, legally, lunch breaks are not paid, and are usually 30 mins. Everywhere I have worked tea breaks are discretionary (but almost always granted) and occur within a paid block of time.
