Paradox maintains time zone data used for scheduling, interviews, locations, and candidate communications. Paradox recently updated its time zone data across the system so local times match current official time zone definitions across different countries and regions.

What's changed?

When governments publish updated time zone definitions, Paradox updates its time zone data to match. Some regions use one offset all year, while others use new dates when local time moves between standard time and daylight saving time (DST).

Canada 

Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories no longer use daylight saving time. Paradox now uses updated time zone data for the following provinces, territories, and time zones:

• Edmonton, Alberta (America/Edmonton) UTC-06:00
• Winnipeg, Manitoba (America/Winnipeg) UTC-05:00
• Vancouver, British Columbia (America/Vancouver) UTC-07:00
• Northwest Territories like Yellowknife (America/Yellowknife) and Inuvik (America/Inuvik) UTC-06:00
• Canada Central (Canada/Central) UTC-05:00, Canada Pacific (Canada/Pacific) UTC-07:00, and Canada Mountain (Canada/Mountain) UTC-06:00 for locations that use those time zone labels instead of the city names above

Times you see for locations in those regions should match local time on and after that date.

Morocco

Morocco updated how local time is defined and uses the same local time all year (no daylight savings time). Paradox now uses updated time zone data for the following country and time zone:

• Casablanca, Morocco (Africa/Casablanca) UTC+00:00

Times you see for locations in that region should match local time on and after that date.

Other regions 

Paradox now uses updated time zone data for additional regions based on recent changes. You can view the full list below of affected time zones.

Why this matters

Outdated time zone data can show the wrong local time for interviews and scheduling communications in affected regions, often by about one hour. That mismatch affects both candidates and recruiters. These recent updates align Paradox with how each region defines local time today, so displayed times match what people expect in those locations.

What you need to do

No action is required. Paradox uses the updated time zone data automatically. You do not need to change workflows, data feeds, scheduling configurations, or time zones in Location Management. 

Ensure to review your location records in Location Management to prevent any service disruptions. If your account is currently set to a different city that just happens to share your time zone, update it to your actual city.
