      "title": "Employment Regulations s.26: rest breaks of \"not less than 15 hours\" for a working day of more than 6 hours",
      "summary": "Section 26 of the Employment Regulations entitles an Employee whose working time on a day is more than 6 hours to rest breaks of \"not less than 15 hours\" in total; the breaks \"may be spent away from the Employee's workstation\". With the 8-hour limit in section 24 this makes a day of 23 hours of work and breaks, and more than 24 hours once working time exceeds 9 hours, so the figure is hard to apply as a break during work. The text has been the same since 2017. For comparison, the ADGM Employment Regulations (2015, 2019 and 2024), which have the same structure and the same 6-hour trigger, give rest breaks of not less than 1 hour in aggregate. The intended figure cannot be derived from the AIFC text itself.",
      "correction": "Please clarify whether the 15 hours in section 26 means breaks during work or total daily rest, and amend the figure or the wording accordingly."
