Italian term or phrase: compensazione di orario
As in the sentence: "Nessuna compensazione di orario può essere effettuata con riferimento alla pausa pranzo." I guess it means that employees taking shorter lunch breaks will have no advantage whatsoever and I thought about using: "No compensatory time will result from variations in the duration of lunch breaks." In this case, we are talking about a private company: would compensatory time be appropriate? TIA.

compensatory time
Explanation:
Comp Time
Compensatory time—“comp time”—is the practice of giving employees time off instead of overtime. For example, if an administrative assistant works eight hours on a Saturday to help with a board retreat, she might be given Monday off.
In general, comp time is not legal. Federal law safeguards against nonexempt employees being cheated out of overtime pay. If you have
an employee who works an extra eight hours during a pay period, the employee should be paid time-and-a-half for those hours. What you
can do instead is to give that person 12 hours off within the pay period. That way the pay will remain the same for the pay period, and you will have “compensated” him or her at time-and-a-half (12 hours off for eight hours extra work).
For exempt staff, comp time doesn’t exist legally, but does exist as a common, informal practice within the nonprofit sector. For example, if a full-time, exempt employee works Saturday and Sunday at a conference, it might be understood that Monday and Tuesday can be taken off. Be sure that such “adjustments” take place within the pay period.
