Learn how UTC time impacts your pay period and why some logged hours may appear in different payouts.
VPM Solutions uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to keep time logs consistent across all countries. Each pay period ends on Sunday at 12:00 PM UTC. Once the cutoff passes, you can no longer enter or edit time for that pay period.
Because UTC is a global standard, your local time may differ from UTC — which can sometimes cause split time entries if your shift crosses the cutoff.
For example, if you’re in the Philippines (UTC+8) and log time from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM local time, 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), while the rest of your shift counts toward the new pay period.
To avoid split payments, it’s best to:
-
Log your full shift without long breaks before the cutoff time.
-
Add short breaks at the end of your shift to keep all hours in one pay period.
💡 Tip: Always check your time zone difference from UTC to ensure your hours fall within the correct pay period.
