Why does the gap change during the year?

The US moves its clocks forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November. Europe changes on the last Sundays of March and October. Many countries in the Middle East and Asia do not change at all. So for a few weeks each year, the gap to New York is one hour smaller or larger than usual. Read the best time to call US clients for the exact dates.

If you work across these hours, a US number with voicemail lets US callers reach you when you are offline.

Short answer

The mainland US uses four main time zones: Eastern (New York), Central (Chicago), Mountain (Denver) and Pacific (Los Angeles). Pacific is 3 hours behind Eastern. Most US offices work about 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. Clocks change on different dates from Europe, so the gap shifts for a few weeks each spring and autumn.
