It all depends from company to company. Like in ours it's 5 hours for Muslims and normal for non Muslims. And we get an HR's mail confirmation for that prior to each years Ramadan !!

Depends. My husband's company chose 5-11am , but that is construction. Some of the other companies he is working with are also doing a 9pm-2am shift with office staff from 8-2. Every company is different.
