offtime
Away from work
Offtime is time away from work or regular duties—a period of rest, leisure, or simply not being on the clock.
It can describe scheduled breaks, vacation days, or any interval when someone isn't expected to perform: I try not to check email during my offtime.
The word emphasizes the boundary between work time and personal time.
