Your team's working day, on São Paulo's clock

Brazil does not change its clocks, so every shift in shared hours comes from your employer's side.
Shared hours through the year
Hours of a 9–5 in both places that coincide, lowest–highest across each month's working days. "Awake" stretches your day to 7:00–22:00.
