English Language & Usage Asked by DashSailor on May 18, 2021
My intention is to let a person (i.e. my employee), whom I’m talking to, to choose his/her work hours.
For example:
Employee: I’m going to do this task between 1-4 pm today.
Me: Sure, no problem. Work (in/at/on/?) your hours!
What preposition should I use?
To a native English's speaker ear, I don't think any of those (or any other preposition) would sound natural in that formulation. I would say "Sure, no problem. Work within whatever range of hours is suitable for you!".

We generally use certain prepositions On time= at the arranged time; not before, not after In time= not late; with a Comfortable margin Like in the sentences I reached the office in time for the meeting The meeting started on time.
