Finnish term or phrase: työaikasaldo
eli tämä on nyt sitten sitä kerrytettyä työaikaa. Siis ylityötunneista kertyy työaikasaldo, jota voi käyttää esim. vapaapäiviin tai tunteihin.

credit balance on the working time account
Explanation:
This concept is probably mainly used in Finland. If it is used elsewhere, it must be explained in more detail, eg in Dresdner Bank's link below.

According to this concept, work time is saved up in a work time bank. The extra pay accumulating from overtime, for example, will be saved on a work time account.

agree  Timo Lehtilä: I think just 'balance ...' is enough, because at many work places 'saldo' can also be negative, which means that you have worked less the norm and should work over the norm in the future.
