How UTC Time Affect Payments

Learn how UTC time impacts your pay period and why some logged hours may appear in different payouts.

How UTC Time Impacts Your Pay Period

VPM Solutions uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to keep time logs consistent across all countries for every Company and Remote Team Member (RTM).

Each pay period ends strictly on Sunday at 12:00 PM UTC. Once the cutoff passes, you can no longer enter or edit time for that pay period.

Understanding Split Time Entries

Because UTC is a global standard, your local time will differ from UTC. This time difference can sometimes cause split time entries if your shift crosses the Sunday cutoff, resulting in logged hours appearing in different payouts.

  • Time Zone Example: If you are an RTM in the Philippines (UTC+8) and log time from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM local time on Monday, your first few hours might still fall under the previous pay period (since 7:00 AM local = 11:00 PM UTC of the previous day). The rest of your shift will count toward the new pay period.
How to Avoid Split Payments
  • Log your full shift without long breaks before the cutoff time.
  • Add short breaks at the end of your shift to keep all hours consolidated in one pay period.
💡 Tip: Always check your time zone difference from UTC to ensure your hours fall within the correct pay period.
