If you WFH what hours do you actually do?

[Susannahmoody]

Seems to be pretty much 9 until 3 here, with an hour for lunch.

8.30-4.30 with an hour for lunch. If something is "on", I'll leave my phone on til my boss finishes at 5.30, but that's about 5 days a quarter

I do full time hours over 4 days, plenty of meetings to attend, these are usually crammed in between 10-3. Other than that, I can be entirely flexible, I tend to do a couple of hours before school drop off and aim to be finished at 4 at the latest.

At the moment about 90% of my work is from home as so much is remote now.

As long as the work is done everyone is happy and no one keeps tabs on the hours I do. I'm very productive. But it isn't really office based (I work in TV) and some weeks are lighter than others. When I'm filming or have a big project then I work all and any hours necessary, and they will be way over my contracted hours. Today I worked from 0800 to 2130, tomorrow will be a long day and last week I had two very long days of over 14/15 hours. But I will take my hours back in some way when it is quieter.

I tend to start early so 7 or 8 at the latest and work until 4 sometimes a little later. I have lunch but not a break as I eat at my desk. So its about the same as the office. We are very lucky that we can flex.

Supposed to be 9-2 or 9-12 and 7-9 if dealing with The US, but it’s a lot more. Nobody makes me but I find it hard to switch off

We have flexible working (8-10am start, 4-6pm finish) but I try to work 8-4 which would have been my hours in the office. I knew I had an evening meeting today so my plan was to do 9-4, 7-8 but I ended up doing 9-5, 6.30-8. So at some point when it’s a bit quieter, I’ll finish half an hour earlier a couple of times or start half an hour later.

DH has always worked from home - many days like today he works 9am - 7pm and he’s now back at working. Other days he will do errands / go to appointments during the day, take us to hospital appointments etc.

I only work about 7 hours a week for my job which I do whenever there are meetings or things that need doing (plus usually about 5 more a week). And I have my own business and I work pretty much non stop on stuff for that - today I was making a paper cut all morning, meeting most of the afternoon, took care of the kids after school then went to working on a crochet pattern. Tomorrow I’ve got tons of stuff to do before half term - can’t make tutorial videos with Tasmanian devil twins about and their half term is two weeks.

We are really lucky we have such flexible jobs because we wouldn’t manage with rigid 9-5s

It varies.
I work 37 hours a week but our services is open 7 days a week.one day we take it in turns to be in on a 12/11pm and the next day 7/12noon. The rest of the time you make your own hours up. Most of
The team like to do 10 hour days to get 3 days off in the week. No lunch hours are deducted. We can start when we need to but have to factor in meetings training and face to face work. Sometimes I like to do split shifts so I start in the morning, break off and go to the gym or meet friends etc while its quiet and finish work off late afternoon.
It works well.

Honestly I'm not that busy. I was never very busy at the office and I've gone from 3 days to FT so I have even less to do.
I get up as late as possible and I'm always at my desk, computer on at 9am. I do everything throughout the day. I do an exercise class around 11ish and sometimes work through lunch but if I'm very quiet , I'll take the time to catch up on home chores.

The same as I do when I'm in the office so 9-5 with a 30 minute lunch if I'm lucky.

Wow some of these hours are unreal! I do hope those of you working so many hours are getting paid generously for it. I’m contracted to do 37.5 hours a week very flexibly, above average wage but nothing to get excited about. But I’m not motivated by money and working all hours, I like free time too much.

I make sure I'm online and 'available' between 9 and 5, but in terms of ^^actual work some days I'll do 1 hour and others I'll do 16. Lots of fluctuation and a dependency on external sources directing the workflow. It probably works out about average.

8.00-17.30 with an hour for lunch

The same as in the office, 9-5.30 with 1hr unpaid lunch break.

9-3 without a lunch break, but I tend to do 4 days like that rather than the 3 Im contracted

Often an hour in evening too.. so I’m working 15-30% over contracted hours

Surely your hours are based on your contractual hours?
I’m contracted 30 a week but do a 9-3 one day so roughly 8.30-5.30 the others with a 45 min lunch to walk the dog

Saying that I did an extra hour last night, last year I was working 11 hour days, at weekend and fell into really bad habits

I'm contracted to do 35 hours. We had full flexitime before covid so could start from 8-10 and finish 4-7 but had to take a min 30 in lunch.

I don't start until after the school run so do 9.30- 5.15 usually as I like a longer lunch.

It depends.

Some days 9-5:30 with a lunch hour.

—most— other days (like today) 9-9 it’s easier to work longer hours for me, as I don’t need to ‘leave’.

I do love my job though!

Most days I wake up and start working straight away with my first thing coffee, usually do an hour before washing and dressing and sorting the kids for school. So about 6.30-7.30am. School run. Then work 8.50am onward interspersed with housework until the second school run of the day. Then 4-6pm approx on days I don’t have to ferry the children around before cooking tea. After kids bedtime I’ll usually do another hour then I’ll usually check emails last thing at about 11.30pm before I go to sleep. At the weekends usually 3-3.30 hours a day in fits and spurts so not much. I try to do less on a Saturday.

I’ve never added up the hours.

Today I did 8.15am to 8.45pm; 30 min lunch; 20 mins to put kids to bed. Haven’t left the house. Cooked dinner at 9. Not a normal day but close enough unfortunately.

Whatever it takes. I don't have contracted hours.

07:45 - 17:30 / 18:00 on a 37 hr contract. Might have a sandwich at the desk at some point. Mondays back to back calls all day, Thursday this week same.

9.30 - 5 with a break if I'm lucky... then often an hour or two in the evenings when the kids have gone to bed

I think companies are getting a pretty good deal from home working as the lines around when to stop are very blurred....

07.45-20.15 call centre 2 days per week
