Reminds me of an article I read years ago that a parent decided they could cope with homeschooling their kid after they followed them around at school and concluded they were only learning for one to two hours a day, not eight.

I don't have to justify that to anyone, except maybe my family. I work for myself.
And do you write down your ours or do you talk jobs and tell them up front how much it is, independend from hours worked?
Both, and when I bill by the hour I only bill the hours I work. Billing for my breaks would quickly lead to a loss of clients when they saw how much time I spent (and if discovered, I could be disbarred).
But if I had made sure to explain that my hourly rate included breaks, as some do, it actually wouldn't be illegal.
