Rules & FAQ

Why only major economies?

Focused on the world's 60 largest economies for cross-border business; more regions added on demand.

How is status calculated?

Based on local time via IANA timezone & configured work hours. Assumes standard ~8h workdays, ignoring lieu days.

Work hour boundaries?

Inclusive start, exclusive end: e.g., 09:00 to 17:00 is working; 17:00 sharp is off-duty.

Weekend definitions?

Default: Sat/Sun (Mon-Fri work week). Exceptions: Fri/Sat (e.g., Saudi, Israel, Egypt) with Sun-Thu work week.

Are public holidays tracked?

National statutory holidays are tracked as non-working. Excludes regional holidays. See Holidays Page

Federal economies?

Each country uses a single representative timezone of its primary business city & generic hours (e.g., NY for US, Toronto for Canada, Sydney for Australia); no state/province split.

Data sources?

Work rules from country metadata; holidays from official sources or verified third-party data.
