How it's used
Focuses on the resumption of duties after a specific interruption, such as a holiday, illness, or a temporary shutdown of a project. Unlike the more general term 開工, which often refers to starting a new shift or beginning a project from scratch, 復工 implies a return to a pre-existing role or task.
Examples
He has recovered from his illness and can return to work next week.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 開工, which is used for starting work for the day or beginning a new job. 復工 carries the specific nuance of resuming something that was previously paused.
