Working Hours

Working hours refer to the specified period during which an employee is expected to perform their job duties. This timeframe is typically set by the employer and can vary by industry or role. Standard working hours often amount to around 40 hours per week, usually spread over five days. These hours determine when employees are officially on duty, affecting work scheduling, pay, and overtime calculations. While some jobs have fixed schedules, others may offer flexible hours, allowing employees to choose when to start or finish their work within certain limits.
