In Brazil, 'dia útil' (literally 'useful day') is frequently used in business and administrative contexts to specifically refer to weekdays when businesses and government offices are open. The concept of a standard 8-hour workday (typically 8 AM to 5 PM or 9 AM to 6 PM with lunch break) is common in corporate environments. The term 'jornada de trabalho' (work journey) is also used to describe the total working hours or shift.
