"in compliance with" is correct if I understand you correctly. These hours will comply with these regulations and change if need be.
"according to" is incorrect shorthand for "in accordance with". "according to" means "as stated by"; that is, according to these regulations, we will change these hours... this is possible --
but I believe you mean instead that the hours will change if the regulations require it. Not that the regulations state that we must change these hours.
"in accordance with" would be acceptable English too; however that doesn't rule out the case where the compliance is coincidental. Thus it is somewhat nonsensical.
Therefore "in compliance with" is exactly what you are trying to say.

Either could apply, depending on context. eg, your sentence could be:
"These working days/hours are subject to change at anytime in order to be in compliance with the government ..."
On the other hand, if in context the target definition is that according to gov regs the working hours are subject change, then that's what you'd use. From a common sense/likelihood point of view this version is more likely.
I hope this makes sense!

The phrase 'according to' means that it's referring to policies, laws or regulations. The other phrase 'in compliance with' means 'obedient or adherent to' or 'in agreement with'. I would use 'according to' because it's actually saying that it's 'referring' to certain guidelines or policies. Saying that 'this working hours/days are subject to change at anytime' with the phrase 'in compliance with' is actually saying that the 'hours/days....' are 'in agreement with' or 'obedient to', which is different from 'according to'. Hope I haven't confused you, but I did my best to explain the differences - lol. I would use 'according to' - it refers to certain policies' or guidelines' already previously created by the company or school, etc.

Either, but I like "in compliance with" better.

"In compliance with" is correct. Also, it should be "these working days/hours..." and "at any time" (two separate words).

"In accordance with" sounds cleaner something to consider
