CST currently runs on UTC−5 and EST on UTC−4, so cST is 1 hour behind EST. CST is currently on daylight saving (summer) time, and eST is currently on daylight saving (summer) time. Because both cities follow their own clock rules, the 1 hour gap you see today can shift by an hour around the spring and autumn changeovers, which is why this page calculates every value live from the official time zone database instead of a fixed offset. For meetings, the best shared working window today is 09:00–17:00 CST time, when both offices are inside normal 09:00–18:00 hours.
