RE: Changing the system clock this weekend...

There is a PDF document on their web site in the Customer Portal that tells
how to set things up.  There's some things on the clock side as far as
adjusting the time that it logs punches and things on the system side that
handle the calculation of work hours.  We tried it for the first time last
spring.  (We're new to DST in Indiana.)  It didn't work quite as expected,
but we were on version 4.1 then.  Over the summer we upgraded to 5.1.  The
PDF document seems to indicate that there have been some changes so we'll
see how well it works this time.  I also seem to recall that not all clocks
support the DST option.  We use mostly 550/551 clocks for time reporting
with some 400-series for gate access and bell schedules.  We'll see how it
goes this time.

Kronos time clocks just jump back. Our clocks sync time with the time
collection server (Windows), which also jumps back. We have employees
working 11pm Saturday to 7am Sunday, which give them 9 hours. Kronos knows
about the time change and adjusts the worked hours accordingly.
