Coroners typically work during standard business hours, which are usually Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. However, they may also be on call outside of these hours to respond to sudden deaths or emergencies. The specific hours can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the volume of cases they handle. In some areas, coroners may work irregular hours, including weekends and holidays, to meet the demands of their role.
A coroner typically works around 8 to 10 hours per day, although this can vary depending on the workload and specific cases. In some instances, coroners may need to work longer hours or be on-call to respond to unexpected deaths or emergencies. Their schedule can be irregular, especially if they are involved in complex investigations or high-profile cases.
