I had a business trip on the train to San Diego and was responding via cell phone. As such, I didn't get a chance to open multiple browsers and pull links.

One clock could run, then another, and possibly a third. Above all else, it's best to consult with an HR specialist in YOUR state and/or region. Laws vary.
