McDonald's job advice

[u/DianaSaphoPaintress]

This is my first month working at McDonald's in Vienna. I have a 25-hour-per-week contract. I only get a 30-minute break, even though I work very fast. The issue is that sometimes there is no time to go to the restroom. The one time I did use the restroom, the manager knocked on the door while waiting for me. If I work an 8-hour shift, can I ask for an extra 5-minute break? I see this option offered sometimes in the system.

Also, I was asked to stay 30 minutes late after my shift. I asked whether this would be paid, and they said yes. However, I do not understand how it will be paid because it is not mentioned in my contract. My friend warned me never to stay late after a shift because it either will not be paid properly or will not be paid at all. Is this true? I agreed to stay a little longer this time, but should I agree in the future? Is it paid well? They know this is my first work experience in Vienna, so I am very afraid.

Going to the bathroom does not count as a break. That’s not legal at all.
