Change Time Zones

Time zones in WorkEasy are linked to specific locations. When you create a location, the selected time zone becomes attached to it. Similarly, when adding employees, time clocks, departments, or positions, they inherit the time zone of the associated location.

If you need to change a location’s time zone, you must first detach all employees, time clocks, departments, and positions from that location. Without this step, the system will not allow you to update the time zone. This guide outlines the necessary steps to change a location’s time zone in WorkEasy successfully.

Changing the time on a time clock is the same as changing its time zone. A time clock uses the time zone of the location it is assigned to, so to change the time on a time clock, change that location’s time zone.

• When you create a location (Global Settings > Platform Settings > Group Values > Locations > Location > Add), you need to select a Time Zone, which then becomes attached to that location.
  
   

• When adding employees, time clocks, departments, or positions to WorkEasy, you need to select a location. The Time Zone for that location becomes attached to the employees, time clocks, departments, or positions.
  
   

To change a location’s time zone, you must first select another location for employees, time clocks, departments, and positions to detach them from that location that has the time zone that you want to change. Failing to detach employees, time clocks, departments, and positions from the location whose time zone you want to change prevents you from making this change.
