We are here to advice on legal aspects.

Both employer and employees are bound by the service agreement which permits only 10 minutes break for tea so legally such term can definitely be imposed by legal means.

A notice can be served o such employees reminding them about the term of the service agreement and slowly it can be got imposed in real sense.

Thanks for your kind advice.
Dear Sirs,
kindly refer the Factories Act 1948 ,sec55
Intervals for rest-{(1)} [the period of work] of adult workers in a factory each day shall be so fixed that no period shall exceed five hours and that no worker shall work for more than five hours before he has had an interval for rest of at least half an hour.
whether agreement or the Act will apply

When you are aware of the provisions of Factory Act, what was the need to refer this academic query to the experts?

Moreover, how do you want to establish link of time of break of 10 or 20 Minutes break with the maximum period of 5 hours within which the the break is to be allowed?

Are not you trying to take test of the experts at LCI?
