A team split between ET and PT is at work together for 5 hours a day.

Taking 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock as the working day, both zones are at work from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM EST (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST).

One day on EST clocks, with the same moments read on PST clocks underneath.

A team spread across two time zones has fewer chances to notice someone drifting away. TeamPredict reads public LinkedIn signals to flag resignation risk early, wherever people work.

The gap between EST and PST stays at 3 hours all year.

Both zones are in the United States and move their clocks on the same two Sundays, so the gap holds.

Each bar is one calendar year, January on the left. Days are coloured by the gap between EST and PST.

These are the clock changes of both zones in 2026 and 2027.
