Yeah, a date and datetime / instant are two very different things, but I just renewed an insurance policy, and while it's been all dates on the forms so far the actual policy documents is clear about midnight to midnight on those dates. In the particular case of employment I'd assume there was as implicit time as well, because employment would be a legal contract (whatever the precedent is in that jurisdiction would probably apply). You couldn't do something that's against your contract on the way to work on your first day, for example, and claim that it didn't count because it was before office hours.
