What's the timezone history of Guam?
Guam observes Chamorro Standard Time at UTC+10, the same offset as eastern Australia in standard time. The territory does not use daylight saving. Despite being US territory, Guam's offset places it on the far side of the international date line from Honolulu: when it is Monday morning in Guam, it is still Sunday afternoon in Honolulu, despite both being US jurisdictions.
What are the working hours in Guam?
Guam's working week is shaped by the US military presence, with civilian contractors and personnel working hours aligned to Washington and Pacific Command schedules. The civilian economy of tourism, especially Japanese and Korean visitor traffic, organises around regional Asian holiday calendars: Japanese Golden Week in late April and early May, and Korean Chuseok in autumn, produce visible peaks. US federal holidays apply alongside local observances including Liberation Day on 21 July, marking the end of Japanese occupation in 1944.
