False entry in the control book suggesting (that) a rest period was taken

See article 18 of link below from international labour organisation.

They call a "rest period" a "period of rest", but that sounds a bit clumsy to me - but depends who the translation is for, I guess.

False statement of rest time giving the impression that a rest period was taken

This is so close to everyone else's answers - here are my reasons for posting it separately: I think it's a statement signed by the employer separately from the control or logbook, to me "rest" or "rest period" corresponds better to driver's breaks than "time off" (which seems to me to indicate a longer period) and I don"t think "suggesting" is strong enough, as Cécile says we're basically talking about a lie here.
