SYMPTOMS

Appointments between the last Sunday in September and the last Sunday in October may appear one hour off from the expected time. This occurs in specific time zones that have changed the transition dates for entering and leaving Daylight Saving Time.

The same symptoms can occur during the period from the first Sunday in March to the last Sunday in March.

CAUSE

Schedule+ uses an internal table to store transition times for each individual time zone. When a governing body decides to change transition dates, the tables no longer agree with the dates observed in the time zone.
