-- Start and End date/time on current row
VAR StartingDateTime = [start date]
VAR EndingDateTime   = [end date]

VAR StartingTime= StartingDateTime - TRUNC ( StartingDateTime )
VAR StartingDate = StartingDateTime - StartingTime

VAR EndingTime = EndingDateTime - TRUNC ( EndingDateTime )
VAR EndingDate = EndingDateTime - EndingTime

-- Adjust start/end times to fall within working hours.
VAR StartingTimeEffective =
    MIN (
        MAX ( StartingTime, WorkTimeStart ),
        WorkTimeEnd
    )
VAR EndingTimeEffective =
    MAX (
        MIN ( EndingTime, WorkTimeEnd ),
        WorkTimeStart
    )
-- Adjust for hours not worked on StartingDate
--   StartingTimeOffset will always be <= 0
VAR StartingTimeOffset =
    WorkTimeStart - StartingTimeEffective
-- Adjust for hours not worked on EndingDate
--   EndingTimeOffset will always be <= 0
VAR EndingTimeOffset =
    EndingTimeEffective - WorkTimeEnd
VAR DayCount =
    EndingDate - StartingDate + 1
VAR TotalTimeInDays =
    DayCount * WorkingHours + StartingTimeOffset + EndingTimeOffset
VAR TotalTimeInHours =
    TotalTimeInDays * 24

RETURN
    TotalTimeInHours

The standard approach is to decide on the desired level of granularity  (does it need to be minutes, or are quarter hours or higher enough?), then you GENERATESERIES of these timeslots and finally you do an INTERSECT with your "permitted"  date range excluding your definition of weekend and holidays.

This becomes interesting when your users work across timezones or have regional holiday differences.

No that is not acceptable, because if the order came on Saturday it will start counting the hours which us wrong

Real life may not care what you consider to be "wrong".  Better be prepared for such a scenario.
