Pazinthu zambiri za tsiku ndi tsiku, asilikali amagwiritsa ntchito nthawi yowonjezera. Kuti mawu, "atsimikizire kuntchito pa zero mazana asanu ndi awiri (0700)," zikutanthauza kuti uyenera kukhala pa ntchito pa 7 AM, nthawi yapafupi. "Mtsogoleri akufuna kukuwonani ma hrs fifteen (1500)" amatanthauza kuti muyenera kukhala mu ofesi ya Mtsogoleri pa 3 koloko, nthawi yapafupi.
Pogwiritsira ntchito nthawi yapafupi, Msilikali akuwona nthawi ya Kusungira Tsiku la Tsiku , ngati akuzindikiritsidwa ndi boma kapena dziko lomwe mazikowo ali.
Pankhani yokhudza ntchito (monga mauthenga, maphunziro, mapulogalamu, maulendo oyendetsa sitima ndege, etc.), asilikali ayenera kuyanjana ndi mabungwe ndi antchito omwe ali m'madera ena. Pofuna kupeŵa chisokonezo, pankhaniyi, asilikali amagwiritsa ntchito nthawi ya Greenwich, England, yomwe imatchedwa Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
