Work breaks can be automatically activated after a minimum number of hours

Big City of London firm Lloyds Banking Group saw its shares slump when its boss Antonio Horta-Osorio stepped down two months ago amid fears that his leave could become permanent. However the 47-year-old is back at the bank and eager to renew plans to revive the group, which is 40.2% state-owned. Recognising that his sickness leave affected the performance of the company Mr Horta-Osorio said that his decision to waive his bonus should reflect that.
