Business hours and international coordination
San Francisco business hours align closely with Los Angeles and Vancouver, with useful North American overlap and limited standard-hours overlap with Europe and Asia.
For cross-border work, check the exact local hour before arranging calls because working-hour overlap can change when one location observes daylight saving time and another does not.
