Hours worked are the actual time an employee spends conducting work-related tasks on behalf of their employer. It encompasses all the hours that an employee is obliged or permitted to work, whether on-site or remotely.
Example
A full-time employee's typical working hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During this period, the individual is actively carrying out their job responsibilities, attending meetings, and participating in other work-related activities. These hours are deemed worked and are compensated accordingly.
