From May 2019, you have specific rights to rest breaks and meal breaks, including how many breaks you'll get within a set time and how long the breaks must be for.

Employment Relations Act 2000, ss 69ZD, 69ZG

You're entitled to the breaks shown in the table below.

However, you and your employer can also agree to longer or extra rest breaks and meal breaks.

Length of your shift

The breaks you're entitled to

Timing of your breaks

(as below, so far as is reasonable and practicable, and unless you've agreed otherwise with your employer)

30-minute meal break

Two-thirds through work period

Employment Relations Act 2000, ss 69ZEA, 69ZEB

Some workers involved in "essential services" don't have the right to the set break times set out above. This includes, for example, hospital and ambulance staff, and workers involved with electricity, sewage and water supplies. The exceptions also apply to jobs that involve "national security".

In these cases you can agree with your employer that you'll take your breaks at different times or in a different way. If you can't come to an agreement on this, then your employer has to give you some kind of compensation for not having the breaks that workers in non-essential services get. This compensation could be extra money, or it might be an arrangement like letting you start work later or finish earlier.
