What are the best hours to schedule a call between WIB and HST?
No hour of the standard 9:00 am to 5:00 pm working day falls inside working hours on both sides. Jakarta and Hawaii are 17 hours apart, which is too far for an overlap, so somebody has to take a call outside their own working day. The least painful options are below, ranked by how close both sides sit to the middle of the afternoon.
| WIB | HST | Working hours | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7:00 am | 2:00 pm the previous day | HST only | early morning in Jakarta, afternoon in Hawaii |
| 8:00 am | 3:00 pm the previous day | HST only | mid morning in Jakarta, afternoon in Hawaii |
| 9:00 am | 4:00 pm the previous day | both sides | mid morning in Jakarta, afternoon in Hawaii |
Does daylight saving change WIB to HST?
Western Indonesia Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+7 offset holds every day of the year.
Hawaii Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC-10 offset holds every day of the year.
Is WIB ahead of or behind HST?
WIB is ahead of HST by 17 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Jakarta, it is 7:00 pm the previous day in Hawaii. Neither Western Indonesia Time nor Hawaii Standard Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Western Indonesia Time covers Jakarta, Bandung and Medan, the most populous of the three Indonesian zones. Hawaii Standard Time covers Hawaii, which has never moved its clocks. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Jakarta and Pacific/Honolulu, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
