Managers must ensure that before opening for business
on Monday, October 31, 2005, the clocks in all integrated retail terminals
(IRTs) and debit/credit card terminals under their control are set
back (in most locations) 1 hour to reflect the change to Standard
Time. Facilities with Saturday night operations should reset the time
as soon as possible after the 2 A.M.
start time, Sunday, October 30, 2005.
The correct system time in IRTs is critical since
their internal clocks are used to verify Express Mail® and Global
Express GuaranteedTM acceptance times and service commitments. The IRT
system time is also printed on customer receipts and employee reports.
It is very important that the debit/credit card terminal clocks be set
to the correct day, date, and time as this will help reduce the possibility
of accepting an expired debit/credit card.
