forty hour week
Full-time employment standard
A forty hour week is the standard full-time work schedule in many countries, typically eight hours a day for five days.
The term often appears in discussions of labor rights, work-life balance, or deviations from the norm: She's been pulling sixty-hour weeks, and it's wearing her down.
Also written forty-hour week or 40-hour week.
