The treatment of lunch breaks in OJT or internship hours can vary depending on the policies and practices of the company or government department. In some cases, lunch breaks are considered part of the work hours and are therefore included in the total number of OJT or internship hours.
However, there are also instances where lunch breaks are not counted as part of the work hours and are therefore not included in the total number of OJT or internship hours. This is usually the case when the OJT or internship arrangement is governed by specific regulations or guidelines.
It is best to clarify with the HR department or the OJT coordinator regarding the policies on counting lunch breaks in OJT or internship hours. This way, you can ensure that you are properly complying with the requirements and expectations of the company or government department.
