Ohayou gozaimasu. (おはようございます。) - Good morning.

Japanese people greet many ways depending on the time of day. Some greetings differ depending on the relationship you have with the person you are greeting.

One can also say just "Ohayou (おはよう)". This is casual, and should not be used with one's boss.
