on-time
The adjective form is typically hyphenated when it precedes a noun, such as in an on-time arrival, whereas the adverbial phrase is written as two separate words without a hyphen. Using the hyphenated version after a verb is generally considered a stylistic error in formal writing.
While similar to in time, which means early enough to avoid a problem or before a deadline, on time refers specifically to adherence to a fixed schedule or a precise appointment. Arriving in time for a movie means you got there before it started; arriving on time means you arrived at the exact hour specified on the ticket.
