A working day · Pacific US time

2–3 pm Pacific US

10–11 pm in London · 7–8 am, next day in Japan

No hour fits everyone’s 9 am to 6 pm. At the closest fit, London stays 5 hours late, and Japan starts 2 hours early.

Works Mon–Thu, when everyone is on a working day.

Meeting every week?
Taking turns is fairer: rotate between 1 pm and 10 pm Pacific US time, a different one each week.

How it works

What counts as a good time?

The whole meeting has to sit inside everyone’s hours on their own clock: a working day, 9 am to 6 pm, unless you choose other hours.

What if there’s no hour that suits everyone?

Then Meridian picks the closest fit and says who has to start early or stay late. For a meeting every week, it says whether taking turns would be fairer.

Does it know about clock changes and weekends?

Yes. Every answer is for today’s clocks, and when weekends differ, as between New York and Tel Aviv, it says which days work.
