day shift

Nine-to-five schedule

The day shift is the work period during daytime hours, typically morning to late afternoon, as opposed to evening or night shifts.

By extension, it refers to the workers assigned to that period: The day shift clocks in at seven.

Day shift usually implies more conventional hours and is often the most desirable assignment in workplaces that operate around the clock.
