In this step, you deal with the problems which arise due to the time difference when the clocks change from wintertime to summertime and vice-versa. This applies to all employees who have to work on the days affected by the time change; the actual time worked is not the same as the time span between the first clock-in entry and the last clock-out entry.
Example
On the day on which the clocks are put forward from wintertime to summertime, an employee works from 22:00 to 06:00. At 2:00, the clocks are put forward by one hour to 3:00, meaning that the employee has actually worked an hour less than it appears from his/her clock-in and clock-out times.
When the time changes from summertime to wintertime, the clocks are put back by an hour at 03:00. This means that the employee in the above example would work 9 hours, although the time span between his/her clock-in and clock-out times would be 8 hours.

Activities
Converting from wintertime to summertime
Define a work break schedule which includes a 1-hour unpaid break from 2:00 to 3:00.
Create variants for the daily work schedules which are affected by the time change, and assign them your work break schedule.
Using the Substitutions infotype (2003), assign this daily work schedule to your employees for the day on which the clocks go forward. In this way, their planned working times are correct both for time evaluation and payroll.
Converting from summertime to wintertime
Define variants for the daily work schedules which are affected by the time change and assign them a special daily work schedule class.
Create generation rules for time wage types which take account of this daily work schedule class. Based on this criterion, you can generate special bonus wage types for the extra hour worked on the day on which the clocks go back.
Via the Substitutions infotype (2003), assign this daily work schedule to your employees for the day on which the clocks go back.
