work hours
On the clock
Work hours are the time during which someone is employed or a business operates.
The phrase typically refers to standard business hours—roughly nine to five on weekdays—but varies by industry and arrangement: I can't take personal calls during work hours.
Flexible work hours allow employees to adjust their schedules.
