About Pacific Time and Eastern Time
Pacific Time covers California, Washington, and Nevada. Its standard offset is UTC−8 (PST) and its daylight offset is UTC−7 (PDT). Eastern Time, centered on New York, is UTC−5 in winter (EST) and UTC−4 in summer (EDT).
Both zones follow the US daylight saving calendar: clocks move forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November. They switch on the same dates, so Los Angeles stays three hours behind New York after the change. Only the abbreviations swap, from PST/EST to PDT/EDT.
| Zone | IANA | Standard | Daylight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pacific Time | America/Los_Angeles | PST (UTC−8) | PDT (UTC−7) |
| Eastern Time | America/New_York | EST (UTC−5) | EDT (UTC−4) |
Scheduling from the West Coast
When Los Angeles is starting the workday at 9:00 AM, New York is at noon. The overlap of a Pacific office day with the East Coast runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific, which is 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM Eastern.
A 4:00 PM Pacific review lands at 7:00 PM in New York. Morning slots on the West Coast are the ones that still fall inside a normal East Coast afternoon. A 7:00 AM Pacific standup is 10:00 AM Eastern, early on the coast and mid-morning in New York.
