Does this mean that the 24 hours is four 8-hour business days or counting starts during normal business ours only?

I think it means that there is a 24-hour time limit, but the clock only runs during office hours. So if the office hours are 9-5.30 weekdays, and the clock starts at 11 a.m. on Monday, the 24-hour time limit expires at 9.30 a.m. onthe following Thursday of that same week.

Perhaps I should go back to plumbing.

Only the author will know what was intended; ask him!
