Scheduling a call between PST and WAT

The examples assume 9 AM to 5 PM on a working day in both places. They do not check weekends, local holidays, or individual schedules.

Standard business hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) do not overlap on January 15: daytime in Pacific Time falls outside the working day in West Africa Time, so one side needs an early morning or late evening.

On July 15 standard business hours do not overlap at all.
