The 9-to-5 term used to describe office working hours in the past, as opposed to a shift (implied blue-collar) job which can run for 12 hours.

 

You can still have 9-to-5 hours with the following conditions:

(1) Your direct superior is understanding and allows you to arrive for work slightly later. This is quite normal especially for those married with kids, have to send wife to work, children to school, etc.

(2) You pack up and go home on the dot. But of course, it's just bringing the leftover work home to finish up on your own time. But it definitely beats staying in the office, and you get to have dinner with the family, spend the earlier part of the evening with the kids, etc.

 

I'm one of those 9-6 daily, unless I have to have face-to-face time with some other parties, otherwise I don't stick around at the workplace. Go off on the dot and beat the traffic jam. But later in the night I will clear leftover e-mails, work on the longer term projects, stuff like that. I think this is acceptable and good enough for work-life balance. It's good enough for me that the boss doesn't insist we have to stay back to do our work. What for? This is the advantage of technology... work whenever and wherever you want to.

If 9 to 5, that's 7 hours per day (minus lunch hour). One week is 35 hours. Here's what is stated on MOM website

 

Part-time Employment

 

A part-time employee is one who is required under his/her contract of service with an employer, to work for less than 35 hours a week.

9-5 is probably 5-1/2 days week. companies that switched to 5 days week would amend the timing

Being moderately busy in your work is usually a good sign.

 

Being busy means still got a job, still consider useful.
