Please Point me Where i Can Find Out

[Bob906]

My Grandaughter works a 40+ hour week in a restuarant as a waitress, starting at 11am and finishing at 7pm.
She is 22 years old so is classed as an adult worker, can anyone tell me where to find out if she is entitled by law to any rest breaks of any sort, her employer says she isn't and by the end of the day she is K'ed.
She doesn't get any coffee or dinner breaks at all.

Thank you in advance

I was a chef for a few years in a Michelin star restaurant. We worked from 8am-1am, no breaks at all and cr@p pay. I didnt realise at that time that it was illegal, I just assumed those were the hours as standard. I hope she gets it sorted and I hope her employer isn't too much of a nightmare about it!
