Day-of-week 1 is Monday. With minute 0 and hour 0 the job runs in the first minute of Monday; change the hour for a working-hours run such as 0 8 * * 1.
Note that the @weekly shortcut expands to 0 0 * * 0, which is Sunday midnight. If your week starts on Monday, write the expression out.

@shortcuts. - AWS EventBridge: a different six-field syntax; do not paste this expression unchanged.
