Word origin
The concept of weekly hours dates back to the industrial revolution when labor laws were established to regulate working hours and ensure fair compensation for workers. As industries evolved, the standard workweek of 40 hours became widely adopted. Today, weekly hours play a crucial role in determining employee wages, benefits, and work-life balance.
