A break at work is a period of time during a shift in which an employee is allowed to take time off from his/her job. There are different types of breaks, and depending on the length and the employer's policies, the break may or may not be paid.
Famous quotes containing the word break:
“What breaks capitalism, all that will ever break capitalism, is capitalists. The faster they run the more strain on their heart.”
