Rest Periods and Lunch Breaks Sample Clauses

The 'Rest Periods and Lunch Breaks' clause defines the employer's obligations to provide employees with designated times during the workday for rest and meal breaks. Typically, this clause specifies the duration and timing of these breaks, such as a 30-minute lunch break and one or more shorter rest periods, and may outline whether these breaks are paid or unpaid. Its core practical function is to ensure employees have adequate time to rest and eat during their shifts, promoting health, productivity, and compliance with labor regulations.
