Staggered working hours Language variant: UK Explanation: Staggered working hours - according to I.E. Gullberg - Svensk-engelsk Fackordbok. For instance as in this link: http://economics.ca/2007/papers/0516.pdf The expression is not confined to the UK, but this link calls it staggered work hours: http://www.socscinet.com/transport/konsult/private/level2/in... |

overtime Explanation: Could be this simple? The explanation given certainly sounds like we mean "overtime" here. |

6 hrs confidence:
rescheduled work hours Explanation: I think ""rescheduled" is fine if it is talking about hours that have been changed/shifted (whilst not necessarily exceeding the basic hours). If however, it is talking about hours that are "more" than the basic number, then I think "overtime" fits. It's just that the "beordrad" suggests to me that it's a rescheduling. I may be very wrong! |

offset time Explanation: Offset in general is a very precise and specific translation of förskjuten. When translating "offset", förskjuten is very often the best option |
