  3. From the Florida Statutes on required office hours:

    43.27 Office hours of clerks of court.—With the advice and consent of the chief judge of the circuit, the clerks of the courts of the several counties may establish the hours during which the office of clerk may be open to the public. The hours should conform as nearly as possible to the customary weekday hours of business prevailing in the county. The clerk may prescribe that the office be open such additional hours as public needs require. The clerk of court may not close any office of the clerk of court during customary weekday hours without the consent of the chief judge of the circuit.

    98.015 Supervisor of elections; election, tenure of office, compensation, custody of registration-related documents, office hours, successor, seal; appointment of deputy supervisors; duties.—

    (4) At a minimum, the office of the supervisor must be open Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays, for a period of not less than 8 hours per day, beginning no later than 9 a.m.

    110.1225 Furloughs.—When a deficit is projected by the Revenue Estimating Conference pursuant to s. 216.136(3), in any fund that supports salary and benefit appropriations, the Administration Commission may propose a furlough plan to the Legislature, which must approve or disapprove such plan. The plan must identify all affected positions and ensure that all affected employees are subject to the same reduction of hours for the same number of pay periods with a commensurate reduction in pay.
