Working across Johannesburg and Lisbon

Johannesburg and Lisbon share banking as core industries, which is where the traffic between them comes from. The gap is 2 hours, with Johannesburg the one whose clock reads later.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 08:00–17:00 in Johannesburg and 09:00–18:00 in Lisbon. On the Johannesburg side the dates that break a schedule are Heritage Day (24 September) and Freedom Day (27 April); on the Lisbon side, Freedom Day (25 April) and Portugal Day (10 June). Replies slow in Johannesburg during mid-December to mid-January and in Lisbon during August.

The comfortable window is 11:00–17:00 Johannesburg time, which is 09:00–15:00 in Lisbon — 6 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only Lisbon changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Johannesburg stays put.
