How holiday checking works

Useful warnings, with honest limits

Common Hours checks the meeting’s local date in every selected city against public-calendar information. When a nationwide holiday is found, it appears beside that city so the organizer can confirm availability before sending an invitation.

What the check covers

The tool looks for nationwide public holidays and known local calendar entries. India’s three fixed national holidays—Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti—also have built-in coverage when the external calendar cannot provide results.

What no calendar can know

Regional observances, substitute days, company shutdowns, school breaks and personal leave can differ. If coverage is unavailable, the site says so instead of incorrectly calling the date a normal working day.

How to use a warning

Holiday notices are not automatic exclusions. Confirm the observance with the local participant, then keep the proposed time, choose a nearby day or adjust the meeting. The people attending always make the final decision.

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.

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.
