Context is insurance classification of Austrian industrial firms in WWI: "Einreihungsänderungen wurden auch von solchen Betrieben verlangt, welche die Erzeugung selbst vollständig eingestellt hatten und sich meist nur zeitweilig auf Regie- und Reinigungsarbeiten beschränken."
"Regiearbeiten" are work outside of the routine of industrial production, side-jobs, occasional jobs etc. Any better suggestions?

direct labour
My Dictionary of Projects Abroad translates the term as "direct labour work", which sounds redundant, but the full expression is used.
plants that had completely ceased production and mostly restricted their activities to direct labour and cleaning work.
