Business hours

Business hours are the hours during the day in which business is commonly conducted. Typical business hours vary widely by country. By observing common informal standards for business hours, workers may communicate with each other more easily and find a convenient divide between work life and home life.
In the United States and United Kingdom, the hours between 9 am and 5 pm are typically considered to be standard business hours, although in the United States this varies by region due to local tradition and the need to conduct business by telephone with people in other time zones. For instance, business in Chicago is often conducted between 8 am and 4:30 pm, while in New York City, business hours tend to be later — for instance, from 10 am to 6 pm.
In Mexico, the standard business hours are from 9 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 6 pm.
Other countries have different business hour patterns. Many workers in warmer climates observe siesta during the afternoon, effecting a pause in business hours, and resuming business in the evenings.
Business hours take place on weekdays, exceptions apply for firemen, police men and other. The days of the week on which business is conducted also varies from region to region in the world.
[edit]Non-traditional Business hours
Many businesses and organizations, especially those that actively operate on a 24 hour basis, usually have extended or unlimited business hours as business and transactions take place continuously. An example being a hotel where the facility is open 24 hours a day and transactions can take place at any point in time requiring staffing and management availability at all times, especially during evening hours when guests are arriving to checkin and utilising facility amenities.

PS.
Her ser man, at unntakene, fra forretningstiden, det er sånne som politi- og brannvesen osv.
Og også hoteller, hvor det foregår transaksjoner, altså oppgjør for hotellrom, f.eks. 24 timer i døgnet.
Men the Financial Ombudsman, tror altså at de er en utradisjonell virksomhet, som har unntak fra forretningstiden.
Det er helt latterlig.
Det står på Wikipedia, at forretningstiden, det er tidspunktet for forretningskorrespondanse, (som betyr formell korrespondanse), mellom en organiasjasjon/firma og en klient/kunde.
Og det er det som det er snakk om her, forretningskorrespondanse, mellom meg og the Financial Ombudsman.
Og den skal da foregå i forretningstiden.
Så jeg blir trakassert av the Financial Ombudsman, de er ikke som brannvesen eller politi.
Det var ikke et nødsfall, at jeg skulle få e-post klokken 6 om morgenen, på en søndag.
Bare nødsfall og praktiske årsaker, i forbindelse med en transaksjon/handel, ville ha gjort et slikt tidspunkt, for forretningskorrespondanse naturlig.
Så jeg skal anmelde de for trakassering nå.
Mvh.
