Select a meeting window on the grid: Click Select to enter selection mode, then drag across the FJT row to highlight a time range in purple. You can drag the center of the selection to move it or use the left and right handles to resize it, which helps when you are testing whether a morning, afternoon, or evening slot in UTC+12 lines up better for international calls.

About Fiji Time (FJT)
FJT stands for Fiji Time. Its standard offset is UTC+12, which means local time in FJT is 12 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.
FJT does not observe daylight saving time and has no counterpart, so the abbreviation stays the same throughout the year. That makes it easier to schedule recurring meetings because the time zone label does not switch seasonally.
Other abbreviations that share the UTC+12 offset include ANAST, ANAT, GILT, M, MAGST, MHT, NFDT, NRT, NZST, PETST, PETT, TVT, WAKT, and WFT. Even when the UTC offset matches, it is still useful to confirm the specific zone abbreviation in scheduling tools so participants know exactly which local time standard is being referenced.
FJT and Daylight Saving Time
FJT does not observe DST. There is no daylight saving transition, no seasonal clock change, and no alternate summer or winter counterpart abbreviation.
Because FJT remains on UTC+12 all year, there are no switch dates in the current year. For recurring schedules, that means meetings anchored to FJT stay on the same local clock time without moving forward or backward during the year.
