On-Duty Limitations Clause Samples
The On-Duty Limitations clause sets boundaries on the amount of time an individual or employee can be required or permitted to work during a specific period, such as a day or week. Typically, this clause outlines maximum shift lengths, mandatory rest periods, and may restrict consecutive days worked without a break. Its core function is to protect worker health and safety, prevent fatigue, and ensure compliance with labor regulations by clearly defining acceptable working hours.
