Dublin TikTok lawyer explains rule that can extend your daily lunch break

A top lawyer from Dublin has stunned workers with a lesser-known fact about breaks at work, and when you can extend your rest time.

Richard Grogan, who has a growing following online especially on TikTok, has become well known for his no-nonsense breakdown of the law for those who are not well-versed. Taking to Twitter this week, Mr Grogan told workers that if they are interrupted on their break -to carry out anything to do with their job - then they are entitled to start their rest time again.

Mr Grogan acknowledged that many workers wouldn't know about this rule. He wrote in a Twitter post: “I would have thought, wrongly, that the right to proper breaks was well understood. Obviously not with over 500K views on this short TikTok video."
