summer hours

Warm-weather work shift

Summer hours are a modified work schedule during warmer months, typically allowing employees to leave early on Fridays or work compressed weeks.

Many offices adopt summer hours from Memorial Day to Labor Day: We're on summer hours, so the office closes at noon on Fridays.

The practice acknowledges slower business periods and the appeal of longer daylight.
