staggered hours
Non-simultaneous work times
Staggered hours are work schedules offset so that not everyone starts and ends at the same time.
An office might have some employees arrive at 7 AM and leave at 3 PM while others work 9 to 5.
The arrangement reduces rush-hour congestion and spreads demand on shared resources: The company implemented staggered hours to ease parking lot bottlenecks.
