Time zones and dates

Your company has one time zone. Everyone in it, the crew, the approvers and the office, sees dates and times in that zone, wherever their phone is.

Where it's set

In Settings, under Company, Time zone. Connecting Jobber sets it from the Jobber account owner's time zone. You can change it at any time. The choices cover the US and Canada, from Hawaii to Newfoundland.

What it changes

• Today. The calendar starts from the company's today. A crew member on a job two hours away in another zone still asks for the company's Friday.
• Times on screen. "Asked Oct 5, 6:41 AM" on a request, and the dates on Requests, which names the zone at the top, for example "Dates in Mountain time."
• The Jobber task. Approved time off goes on the Jobber schedule from the start of the first day to the end of the last, in the company's zone.
• Balances. Each year runs January 1 to December 31 in the company's zone.

Asking through an AI assistant

Your crew picks days on a calendar. If someone asks through Claude, ChatGPT or Muse instead, the assistant reads words like "Friday", "next Monday" or "July 14 to 18" in the company's zone, and numbers month first, the North American way ("10/9" is October 9). See Connect an AI assistant.

Daylight saving

Nothing to do. The zone knows when the clocks change, and time off is in whole days.
