work schedule

Employee hours plan

A work schedule is a plan showing when employees are expected to work—their assigned days, hours, and shifts.

Employers post work schedules so staff know when to show up: The new work schedule comes out every Friday.

Someone with a demanding work schedule has little free time; a flexible one allows variation in hours.
