Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 10:00 am CST, which is 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm SAST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Central Time – Mexico (CST) is used in most of Mexico. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so it no longer tracks US Central Time in summer.
