light duty

Not too taxing

Light duty describes work or equipment designed for less demanding tasks.

A light-duty truck handles smaller loads than a heavy-duty one.

In workplaces, light duty refers to modified assignments given to employees recovering from injury—tasks that avoid physical strain: The doctor put her on light duty until her back healed.
