This is an interesting sociological phenomenon, a respect for artificial rules that I find intriguing. I used to make changes in the computer at work and train others to. Then we had to adjust everyone’s work hours. This was usually done by someone who either gets up really early or is ending a long shift late at night.
Today countless newly trained managers will have computer problems that will drive the workplace nuts trying to adjust their computers’ clocks. In a nation based on hourly wages, this affects payroll records too. Gets ugly and leads to disputes about what people are paid. It also is a learning experience for unscrupulous managers, teaches them how to rig hours.
DST is a logistical mess. An entire nation has to be informed and trained, and guess what? A lot of people simply forget or fail to pick up on the broadcasts.
People will show up to work one hour early. Then when we have DST, people will show up one hour late, people will miss appointments, etc.
Most if not all computers now days automatically update for the time change to/from DST. I don’t see many IT folks running account today changing the time on employee’s computers. As far as time clocks and payroll systems, unless they are ancient systems and use old fashioned analog manual time card punch clocks, all the time and attendance systems I’ve worked with over the last 10 years and I currently am with ADP, they automatically update to/from DST and anyone working an overnight shift on Saturday, the system will automatically account for their time properly. It’s not really that big of a deal.
