Subject: balance
Greetings!

How would you translate into English the word баланс in this context:

Балансом гибкого времени является разница между реальным временем работы с вычетом обеденного перерыва и нормативным временем по графику 40-часовой рабочей недели.

Or, perhaps, you can explain to me what it means, as cannot understand what баланс времени is.

Thank you

arithmetic sum of
actual time spent at work less the dinner time and
scheduled working time (40 hours a week)

what i don't understand is the specific phrase "balance gibkogo vremeni". i do understand how to calculate it. any thoughts?

arithmetic sum - are you sure? isn't this tautology?

the word balance there is used in its usual meaning
гибкое время means that emploee is not limited with strict frames of working time schedule 9:00 am till 5:00 pm, i.e. he/she may come to work at 9:40am and leave it at 4:00pm one day and in quite different in others

Thank you. I understand what flexible time means. but you must agree, in english this makes little sense:

The balance of flexible working hours is the difference between.....

The word "balance" here makes no sense in English. Which is why I was asking.

Thanks a lot anyway. K

it is probably something similar to БАЛАНС РАБОЧЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ-
баланс, фиксирующий ресурсы рабочего времени работников компании и их использование в виде таблицы распределения рабочего времени. Б.р.в. позволяет выявить резервы использования рабочего времени. Рассчитывается Б.р.в. на одного среднесписочного рабочего.
