Question:
If one is self employed as a lawyer and gets paid per hour. is it permitted to include short bathroom breaks and short coffee/snack breaks that are necessary to maintain concentration over the course of a working day.
I have found that there is a difference of opinions in the industry whether short breaks are billable.
Thanks
Answer:
Hello,
You are asking an interesting question. The dayan that I consulted with felt that it is understandable that a person will need short breaks during the time that they work and that the client would agree to this. Therefore it is permitted. As as side point it would be preferrable to insert this into the contract, just to keep yourself save.
Best wishes
