    Hey there,

    I had a quick question about hours gained after midnight. If I start my shift at 11:00 pm while having a low 70 hour clock (say 2 hours) but have hours after midnight coming in for the next day, will the hours gained go directly on my clock or will I have to shut down to regain them?

    You regain them, no need to shut down.

    Yup the hours do comeback, but at least for me it doesn’t matter what time zone I’m in, they always come back based off central time(companies home base.)
