Schedule Rotation & Team Fairness Guidelines
With almost total business hours alignment, nearshore Brazilian contractors can participate in normal team syncs without schedule strain.
Async Handoff Best Practice:When live overlap is shorter than 2 hours, establish written end-of-day handoff logs (e.g. key decisions, blockers, and next actions) so the opposite team can pick up work seamlessly.
