    What I noticed is that often it’s “30 minutes lunch with 7:30 of work time, for a total of 8 hours at work”, or “1 hour lunch with 8 hours of work time, for a total of 9 hours at work”.

      In Germany it’s dependent on the work hours and type of physical activity, for me it’s:
      <6 hours, no break (for adults)
      6-8 hours, 30 minutes break
      8-10 hours, 45 minutes break
      >10 hours, 1 hour

      6-9 hours, 30 minutes
      >9 hours, 45 minutes

      With breaks being a minimum of 15 minutes at a time, and you’re not allowed to work workout breaks for more than 6 hours at a time.
      if you have a job where you have to concentrate a lot (assembly lines, bus/truck drivers, air traffic controllers) these times change a lot, sometimes down to like 1 hour maximum continuous work and then 15-30 minutes of break time.
