Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm UTC, which is 9:00 am to 12:00 pm CST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used in aviation, computing, and science worldwide. UTC never changes for daylight saving.

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.
