There are serious legal repercussions in the event of a bad date and time, yet the users *still* insist on changing these settings?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Sounds like you have much larger problems, my friend. For myself, I'd consider it falsifying a company document and terminate the employee on the spot. Wouldn't have too much trouble after that.....
