rest break
Brief work stoppage
A rest break is a scheduled pause from work or activity, typically brief and intended for recovery.
Labor laws often mandate rest breaks for employees: Workers get a fifteen-minute rest break every four hours.
The term emphasizes recuperation rather than eating, distinguishing it from lunch or meal breaks.
