Armenia Labour Code Art. 153(3): when work is performed at an air temperature strictly above +40 °C (or below -10 °C), or under heavy physical or intense mental-emotional strain, the employer must provide special breaks. Special breaks are included in working time (Art. 153(4)) and paid at the worker's average wage (Art. 154). The Code publishes no numeric work/rest minutes, so this is a control overlay, not a schedule.

This rule has no numeric trigger the calculator evaluates — it states duties and control measures rather than a threshold a reading can be checked against. Its measures are listed below.
specialBreaksRequired = airTempC > 40 (heat limb); heavy-physical-strain limb from workload| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
specialBreaksAboveC | 40 |
specialBreaksBelowC | -10 |
Programmable logic
Heat limb: when airTempC is strictly above +40 °C, specialBreaksRequired is true and the paid-break duties are surfaced; exactly 40.0 °C does not trigger. Strain limb: when workload is heavy or very_heavy, the heavy-physical-strain condition is flagged independently of temperature.
The Code's 'intense mental-emotional strain' limb is qualitative and cannot be derived from calculator inputs, so it is surfaced as a note only. No work/rest minutes are generated and stopWork is always false, because Art. 153 publishes no schedule.
Required inputs: airTempC
Optional inputs: workload
