Your night is our day
Lahore is 9 to 15 hours ahead of North America, 4 to 5 hours ahead of the UK, and 3 to 6 hours behind Australia. That means the late-night and early-morning hours that are hardest to staff locally fall in normal working hours for our team.
Planning coverage
Start with the hours when calls go unanswered today, usually late nights, weekends and public holidays. Many companies begin with nights only and add weekend days or overflow later. Use the Missed Call Cost Calculator to see what those hours are worth.
How staffing is estimated
Weekly hours are divided by the shift length to get the number of shifts. Each dispatcher works up to five shifts a week, and one extra person is added for breaks, holidays and sickness.
Shift & Time Zone Planner: questions and answers
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It uses your browser's time zone data for today's date.
Why add a backup dispatcher?
Someone trained on your account must cover breaks, holidays and sickness, so the line is never empty.
Can a shift cross midnight?
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start, it's treated as an overnight shift.
What does “Covered right now?” mean?
Whether the current time in your time zone falls inside the coverage window you chose.
Is Pakistan time always the same?
Yes. Pakistan doesn't use daylight saving, so the difference changes only when your clocks change.
