Two related foot-guns on the admin dashboard and payroll dashboard: 1. Every `timezone.now().date()` call returned the date in UTC, not in Africa/Johannesburg. Between 22:00 and midnight SAST that's the NEXT calendar day — so the "today" the dashboard thought it was could be ahead of what the user sees on the clock. Now uses `timezone.localdate()` which respects `settings.TIME_ZONE`. Same fix for `datetime.date.today()` calls — those used the server's system clock, which on the production VM is set to UTC. 2. "Absences (last 7 days)" and "Paid (Last 60 Days)" both subtracted the FULL window length and combined it with `>=`, producing N+1 inclusive days. E.g. `today - timedelta(days=7)` with `date__gte` spans 8 calendar days, not 7. Now subtract N-1 so the windows are exactly N days. Regression test: DateWindowOffByOneTests. Findings 12 + 13.
