The company setting for time zones must be configured prior to a Daylight Saving Time change; otherwise, time records must be manually corrected by the administrator.
The system uses your configured Time Zone to determine if your area/system follows Daylight Saving Time changes or not. This will primarily affect hardware that does not connect to cellular towers to receive its date/time (JobClock/EX & JobClock/LE, & certain JobClock Hornet scenarios).
Devices that are able to connect to cellular towers, such as cell phones, can receive their date/time from cellular towers directly, allowing their date/time to be accurate independent of the Arcoro Time settings. If these devices are unable to connect to cellular towers consistently or if they are not set to automatically adjust for daylight saving time, the date/time on them can be inaccurate.
While uncommon, take into special consideration employees working along the border of different time zones, as a device can automatically adjust their date/time to match whatever date/time of the cellular tower they are connected to.
Any employees working through the daylight saving time change in the Fall may need to have their time records manually adjusted on their timecard to better reflect the number of hours they should be receiving.
