off-hours

Outside work hours

Off-hours are times outside normal business or working hours—evenings, nights, weekends, early mornings.

The term implies a contrast with standard schedules: The building is locked during off-hours.

As an adjective, it describes activities happening during these times: off-hours maintenance, off-hours trading.

Someone's off-hours are their free time: She studies Italian in her off-hours.
