working hours
Nine to five
Working hours are the time during which someone is expected to be at their job or a business is open for operation.
The phrase typically refers to a standard schedule: I try not to check email outside working hours.
Calls or visits during working hours reach someone at their workplace; outside working hours implies personal time.
Also called business hours when referring to commercial establishments.
