Practice question
A covered employee has eight hours counted as work, including a short rest during working hours. The employer wants to subtract the short rest simply because no productive task was performed during it. Which rule applies?
- Article 84 counts the short rest as work; lack of active production alone does not justify the deduction.
- Every moment without production must be deducted.
- Every rest automatically reduces the statutory normal workday to four hours.
- The employee must waive the rest to remain employed.
- The rest turns all eight hours into overtime.
