What is Meal/rest break (intervalo intrajornada)?

Also: intervalo intrajornada · meal break · rest break

The intrashift break is the rest-and-meal pause within the working day (as a rule 1h for shifts over 6h). Since the 2017 Labor Reform, total or partial suppression generates payment of only the suppressed period, with a 50% premium and indemnity nature.

The proof, again, is the time record — the registration of the break actually taken.

Observed grant pattern: about 47% of merits decisions on this award (base: real Labor Court cases).

How LABORIS AI uses it

LABORIS AI cross-references the claim with the time record and the court’s grant pattern, separating what is supported by proof from what is not.
