1. It is entirely up to the company to decide whether the workers work 8 hours a day, including lunch break, which is not clearly stipulated in the relevant laws of our country.
2. The labor law does not clearly stipulate whether 8 hours includes lunch break, and the employer has the right to stipulate in the rules and regulations whether 8 hours includes rest, which may or may not include it. Because according to the law, the eight-hour working system only refers to the time used purely for work, and it is normal and legal to exclude lunch breaks. If working hours are included, the unit benefits are better.
Theoretical origin
The eight-hour work system was first put forward by sociologist robert owen in August of 18 17. He also invented a slogan, "Eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure and eight hours of rest". 1833, with Owen's support, compassionate factory owner John do Holti and others launched an eight-hour working day movement.
1866, the first international Geneva conference put forward the slogan of "eight hours of work, eight hours of self-control, eight hours of rest", requiring countries to enact laws to confirm it.
