How holiday checking works

Useful warnings, with honest limits

A holiday notice is a prompt to confirm, not an automatic exclusion — and no public calendar knows about regional observances, company shutdowns or personal leave.

Frequently asked questions

Meeting time-zone questions

Does Common Hours account for daylight saving time?

Yes. Times are calculated for the selected meeting date using each city’s time zone, including applicable daylight-saving changes.

Are public holidays excluded from the results?

No. Holidays are displayed as notices so you can make the final decision rather than having possible meeting times removed automatically.

What does the green area mean?

Green represents normal weekday working hours for each city. The darker band shows the meeting time you are currently considering.

How do I decide when to meet across time zones?

Add every participant’s city, then look for where the green working-hours bands overlap — that overlap is when to meet without asking anyone to join at midnight. When there is no overlap, the planner shows the closest compromise instead of hiding the problem, and the fair answer is usually to alternate which side takes the awkward hour. Check the public-holiday notices before you send the invite.

Do I need an account?

No. Common Hours is free to use and does not require registration. Your selected cities and preferences stay in your browser.
