Core Hours
In a flextime system, the time window when all employees must be present.
Core hours are optional. Without them, you have "fully flexible" hours.
Time outside core hours is called "flexible time," within which employees may arrive and leave.
Example: core hours 10:00–15:00 → all employees must be present for those 5 hours; remaining work hours can be placed before or after.
Example
Core hours 10:00–15:00 → arriving at 8am or 10am is fine, as long as you're present 10–15
