You have 50 employees, each of whom within their 9 hour day are entitled to
one 30 minute break and two 15 minute breaks, hence a total of one hour
within the 9 hours. On average, therefore, you would have 50/9 (or 5.5555)
employees on a break at a time.
What constraint is there on how long a gap there is between breaks (or
between a break and the start or end of the day)?
What constraint on what order the beaks are taken in (in other words is it
always a 15 minute break in the morning, then a 30 minute in the middle of
the day, then another 15 minute break in the afternoon?)?
Any constraint on which employees are on a break together, or all 50
regarded as interchangeable for this purpose?
Not clear what you mean by "no 2 empolyees breaks are same". Do you mean
that if employee A goes for a break starting at 10:15, employee B can't go
until 10:16, or until 10:15:01, or what do you mean? [You said "if 1
empolyee is on lunch break for 30mins, the other employee will go for break
after other returns", but we've already established that an average of more
than 5 will be on a break at the same time.]
As you see, still many more questions than answers. You really need to
specify the problem much more precisely before you come to the group for
help. With most computing problems, it isn't the implementation of the
solution that is the difficult part of the task, but the specification of
the requirement.

David,I work at IBM,its a internal help desk,its a severice delivery based
desk,we get calls,INCOMING calls, normally.
so it will difficult for employees to take a break at a same time.
our desk starts at 7AM -7PM.
employees logs in at a diff time,say 1st batch logs in at 7am abt 5
employees n after an hr or couple, 2nd batch of other 5-8employees...n so on.
thts the peak hrs,so managing breaks r difficult,so i've come up schedule
break plan,I proposed this to my manager.
so hw can v schedule the breaks so tht In this way 1st batch getting the
preference of brks starting 15mins-30mins-15mins breaks.
so atleast 1st break after 1hr r 2hrs of login ...so time diff in 1st n 2nd
employee while taking break will b 10mins ..atleast.
(David,hope am clear nw,plz let me knw if any questions,i'll be glad to help
answer ur questions)
Thanks for your replies.
