It's probably this. I just tried it on my system and the results seemed finnicky (i don't think we actually use this function anywhere, luckily) - i checked our system calendar and noticed it's set to use working hours in GMT for some reason. I assume this might be true for many people who don't realize it.

Please explain what "not working properly" actually means.

Not very helpful but I think calworkhours() is literally calculating a "between" value which means that one of the boundaries (probably the end_datetime) is not being included. An example: between 8am and 10am is actually 1hour and 59 minutes and 59 seconds. I can see that if I do this:

calworkhours(
  fn!todatetime("18/07/2022 8:00 am"),
  fn!todatetime("18/07/2022 10:01 am"),
)

then I get this;
