Typically, this clause outlines the frequency and duration of such breaks, such as allowing a 10-minute pause every few hours, and may specify acceptable activities like stretching, hydration, or brief walks. Its core function is to promote health and productivity by ensuring participants have regular opportunities to rest and recharge, thereby reducing fatigue and supporting overall wellness.
