Work/rest schedules

Work/rest schedules are plans that organize how employees alternate between working periods and breaks to ensure safety, productivity, and well-being. They specify when workers should be on duty and when they should rest, reducing fatigue and the risk of errors or accidents. Common examples include shift rotations, mandated break times, and limits on consecutive working hours. Proper scheduling helps balance workload, maintain health, and comply with labor regulations, ultimately supporting both employee welfare and organizational efficiency.
