What Is Working Hours?
Working hours are the recurring periods when a person or team normally permits work or appointments.
A consultant accepts bookings Monday through Thursday from 09:30 to 16:30 in their local time zone.
Why It Matters
They establish the baseline from which calendar conflicts, buffers, notice, and other constraints produce bookable availability.
How It Works
The organiser configures the rule as part of the booking workflow. It is combined with working hours, calendar commitments, and other constraints before times are shown.
- The organiser defines the relevant rule or limit.
- The scheduler applies it while calculating bookable times.
- The invitee sees only options that remain eligible.
Common Mistake
Treating working hours as final availability instead of a broad recurring rule that still needs calendar-aware conflict checking.
Review the surrounding booking flow and make the expectation clear to both hosts and invitees.
