Working Hours:

At StarkSouk, we value flexibility and trust in our team. While we give you the autonomy to manage your time, clear communication and meeting deadlines are essential to maintaining efficiency and success. Below are the working hours guidelines for our internal team members.

1. Standard Operating Hours

( 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM )

Our standard working hours provide structure while allowing flexibility where needed.

Time	Description
9:00AM	Start of the workday. Ensure you are in a professional environment, especially for video calls.
Between 12:30 to 2:30 PM	Lunch break. Take 60 minutes to rest and recharge. Resume work by 2:30 PM.
6:00 PM	End of the workday. Personal time begins unless there are urgent tasks that have been communicated in advance.

Note: These are our standard hours, but we encourage flexibility as long as team needs and deadlines are met.

2. Flexible Working Hours

While our core hours are in place, you have the flexibility to manage your schedule, as long as it supports team collaboration and meets deadlines. Please ensure that there is an overlap with key working hours to facilitate communication and meetings.

3. 8-hour workday

We expect a maximum of 8 working hours each weekday. This allows for a balance between personal well-being and professional efficiency.

4. Availability for Communication

Core Communication Hours: Ensure availability during our core hours (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM) for meetings and team interactions.
Meeting Times: Meetings are generally scheduled between 9:30 AM and 5:45 PM. After-hours work should not be expected unless prearranged for urgent situations.
Response Time: Respond to internal communications (emails, messages, etc.) within a reasonable time frame during business hours. For urgent matters, please respond as soon as possible.

Keep your calendar updated with your availability to avoid scheduling conflicts.

5. Time Management

Self-Managed Time: You are trusted to manage your work hours effectively. If you need time during the day for personal matters, just communicate with your team lead and ensure all deadlines are met.
Meeting Deadlines: Flexibility in your schedule comes with the responsibility to meet project deadlines. Timely completion of tasks is key to team success.

6. Team Collaboration

Scheduled Meetings: Team meetings and check-ins may be scheduled at recurring intervals to track progress on projects. These will be organized in advance to accommodate everyone's schedules.
