Breaks in the workplace

Like most employees, you likely work long shifts and work had at your job. Lunch breaks are essential for you to get through the day while being productive. But due to a survey it has been revealed that 50 percent of the workforce aren't getting enough lunch breaks. As a matter of fact 10 percent of the workers aren't even getting 15 minutes breaks due to having too much work to do, even the people that are getting around 60 minutes breaks are still taking calls and answering emails on their breaks. 

As a matter of fact when working over 8 hours  it is illegal for a worker to not have a full none working break for one hour. 

Next, when we asked about the ideal vs the reality of lunch breaks, people who were not able to take a sufficient lunch break said their ideal lunch break averaged 63.1 minutes. In reality, however, it was 44.3 minutes, resulting in a gap of around 20 minutes. 

Personally I thought that most of the workers in Japan are suffering to this problem. They are not taking enough breaks and forcing themself to work though them. Japan has a law which is to, 1 give a break during working hours, 2 give all employees, 3 for the worker to be able to take a break at the time at their own will (not including waiting time during shifts). It is the firm that has to make the change, and the laws need to be more stricter for the workers to have less stressful shifts.
