ALL IRT AND DEBIT/CREDIT CARD OFFICES
Setting Clocks for Standard Time
Managers must ensure that before opening for business
on Monday, October 30, 2006, 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 29, 2006.
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.
