Fortunately this issue SHOULD be very straight forward. Unfortunately - it isn't.
There's a button that calculates a person's period of eligibility to make changes to their HR benefits, etc. You enter their employment anniversary date and hit the button and this performs a calculation: $My Date$ - 864000 (i.e., minus 10 days). Here's the interesting thing - when the date entered is Daylight savings time - 3/15 this spring - the calculated value for the date time field returns 3/4/2010 11:00:00 PM. Normally all of the times in this date/time field are left at 12:00:00 AM and are unused. Technically speaking the calculation is EXACTLY correct. 3/4/2010 11:00:00 PM is exactly 10 days before 3/15/2010 12:00:00 AM - because 3/15 has an "extra" hour added that is a figment of our collective imagination. Technically DST doesn't happen until 2:00 AM though but that's a matter for another time. I was thinking about changing the times on these to default to 3:00:00 AM instead of 12:00:00 AM - but I'm open to suggestions.
