Outlook 2013 Remove non working hours from suggested times

 Outlook 2013, when scheduling a meeting, suggested time always shows till midnight.  Users have set their working hours.  Outlook sees this and showing the non working hours in grey.  But any user can send a meeting request to another user outside of their work hours.  How can we remove a users non working hours from suggested times? We are a global company that runs 24hrs, 7 days a week.  Currently users end up emailing back and forth a half a dozen times to get an agreed meeting time.  This could be avoided if those times were not available.

In a nutshell, I open Outlook calendar.  Open new meeting, add a user, switch to scheduling assistant. On right side I see suggested times. (Ideally the best times that I and the other user are free).  Can the suggest time there only show times that are within the user's working hours.

Hi,

I'm afraid there is no option to set Outlook to only show working hours. A workaround I can think out is to add recurring appointments to your calendars, blocking others from scheduling you during those periods that if out of your working hours.
