title: Why do TimeStamp and KronosTimeZone list different time zone offsets?
body: <p>I have a Kronos Workforce Central 8.1 server located in an EST time zone. To confirm that the time zone was configured properly, I sent a <code>GetServerTime</code> request to the server.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;Kronos_WFC version="1.0"&gt;
      &lt;Request Object="ServerTime" Action="GetServerTime"/&gt;
  &lt;/Kronos_WFC&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To my surprise, the server response listed two different timezone offsets for GMT.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>TimeStamp="5/09/2018 10:23AM <strong>GMT-04:00</strong>"</li>
  <li>KronosTimeZone="(<strong>GMT -05:00</strong>) Eastern Time"</li>
  </ul>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;Kronos_WFC TimeStamp="5/09/2018 10:23AM GMT-04:00" version="1.0" WFCVersion="8.1.1.569"&gt;
      &lt;Response Status="Success" Action="GetServerTime" Object="ServerTime"&gt;
          &lt;ServerTime DateTime="5/09/2018 10:23AM" KronosTimeZone="(GMT -05:00) Eastern Time"/&gt;
      &lt;/Response&gt;
  &lt;/Kronos_WFC&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is Workforce Central returning different GMT offsets for <code>TimeStamp</code> and <code>KronosTimeZone</code>?</p>
