No one knows how to adjust the time to UTC-x on an AS400?
The issue is that its a national operation so the difference between provinces that changed and provinces that didn't change creates the problem.
They would either need to create new time zone profiles for the provinces ditching daylight savings or they would have to manually swap the time zones of certain locations in the system every 6 months. I gather that both are now beyond the IT department's ability.
Yukon time exists and it's a perfect interim match.
They would have to figure out changing a bunch of location's time zones though and that *may* be beyond their capability. Also I don't know if the system has Yukon's time zone or not since we don't operate there.
Its starting to cause a whole ton of small issues and now some relatively minor pay issues due to this potentially allowing the company to dodge shift differential pay.
I would go into more detail on a lot of stuff but I don't want to name the company or anything.
