Set of emails regarding studies done for a business
I hope someone will know more positively what this expression means in this context. There is very little context as they are company related emails between co-workers and so each of the people involved already know what they are talking about, but unfortunately, I am not sure!
I am wondering if "repos" in this context could be "off-time" or "breaks" as these are studies on the overtime that workers have accrued. Or maybe something else, that's why I need your help.
Here is some context:
Comme demandé suite aux observations de l'inspecteur du travail, tu trouveras ci-joint une étude détaillée sur l'application de la durée du travail et des repos associés au sein de CSC.
Comme convenu et en complément de l'étude ci-dessous, tu trouveras ci-joint un ficher résumant jour/jour les heures supplémentaires et les repos des 6 salariés GOS ayant effectué plus de 250 heures supplémentaires sur 2009.
This is ALL the text containing this word.
Thank you very much in advance.

(statutory) rest period
possibly, given the context and the amount of hours being talked about.I doubt it would be about "breaks" as such but rather longer periods of
TIME OFF
between work shifts
impossible to be sure with so little to go on

since Daryo seems to think I also should have posted refs for UK: here you go. Note the second ref also uses "rest BREAKS" though I believe rest PERIOD is far more common.

: Depending on the local legislation and collective agreements, in my opinion this is the correct answer.

Daryo
: "impossible to be sure with so little to go on"? On the contrary, context = working hours in FR is more than enough, no point looking for references on the other side of the pond.

breaks / rest periods
"une étude détaillée sur l'application de la durée du travail et des repos associés"
The ST is about the application of the EU Working Time Directive in France.
What the work inspectors are checking is this:
"...
Breaks
-- art 3 there must daily rest of 11 hours per 24 hour period
-- art 4 a rest period for every six hours, set by legislation or collective agreement
-- art 5 weekly rest of 24 hours uninterrupted, on top of the daily rest in art 3, but derogation justifiable for technical, organisational or work reasons
Working week
art 6 (a) member states must ensure weekly working time is limited by law, or collective agreement(b) average working time should not exceed 48 hours for each 7 day period..."

well, it's a tricky situation when you see different reasons for a similar answer. In my view the explanation is at least as important as the answer.
