Munkarendben

Munkarendben is a Hungarian adverbial expression that means “in accordance with the work schedule” or “on duty according to the scheduled shifts.” It is used to describe actions, operations, or people that are functioning according to a predefined timetable or shift pattern. The phrase can indicate that someone is currently working a given shift or that processes are proceeding as planned.

Etymology and grammar: The term combines the noun munkarend (work schedule, shift pattern) with the locative suffix -ben, meaning “in.” Grammatically, munkarendben can function as an adverbial modifier or predicative complement, for example in sentences describing how work is carried out or when someone is on duty.

Usage: Munkarendben is common in workplaces such as factories, hospitals, and service sectors where shifts are scheduled. It emphasizes adherence to the planned hours rather than unscheduled or overtime work. Examples include: A dolgozók munkarendben dolgoznak. A kórházban a műszakok munkarendben zajlanak. Az üzem működik munkarendben, a megszabott időkeretek között.
