9/25/2008	WebClock Password Requirements Have Changed! In order to better protect your confidential data, SwipeClock will now require that any new employees entered into the system have a web password consisting of a MINIMUM OF 8 CHARACTERS.
10/30/2007	How does SwipeClock handle daylight savings time? When the employee clocks in, an offset is given to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time stored in the clock. For example, if the employee is in the Eastern time zone (which has an offset of -5), and clocks in at 11 PM, the employee is really clocking in at 4 AM UTC. Take the 4 AM, subtract the 5 offset, and you get 11 PM, which the clock displays and subsequently stores. Next, the clock automatically transmits to SwipeClock at 12:30 AM on the night of the time change and now the clock displays a -4 offset (Eastern for DST). But, the UTC time in the clock is NOT affected, only the clock's display. Therefore, when the employee clocks out, the different offset IS NOT GIVEN to the employee on an "out" punch. The "out" punch simply takes the offset given to the "in" punch as its attribute. So in this case, although the clock displays differently (new -4 offset for DST), the "out" punch will still have the "in" punch's initial -5 offset to keep the employee's time consistent and correct for that day. The times may look different on the timecard, but the hours ARE correct due to the punches actually using the UTC time. There is no need to make adjustments to the employee's card.
