company time
Paid work period
Company time is the hours an employer pays you to work.
The phrase typically appears in contexts of misuse: doing personal tasks, browsing the internet, or slacking off on company time.
The implied contrast is with your own time—what you do off the clock is your business, but company time belongs to the employer.
