Create a custom field in the employee record to store the employee's time zone. This can be done manually by the user or automatically based on the employee's location. 2. In your SuiteScript, you can use the

N/record

module to load the employee record and get the value of the time zone field. 3. Once you have the time zone, you can use JavaScript's

Date

object and its methods to get the current time and adjust it according to the time zone. Here is a basic example of how you can do this:

javascript
var record = require('N/record');
var format = require('N/format');

// Load the employee record
var employeeRecord = record.load({
    type: record.Type.EMPLOYEE,
    id: 'EMPLOYEE_ID'
});

// Get the employee's time zone
var timeZone = employeeRecord.getValue('custentity_time_zone');

// Get the current date and time
var now = new Date();

// Adjust the time according to the time zone
var adjustedTime = format.format({
    value: now,
    type: format.Type.DATETIMETZ,
    timezone: timeZone
});

return adjustedTime;

In this example,

EMPLOYEE_ID

should be replaced with the actual ID of the employee, and

custentity_time_zone

should be replaced with the actual ID of the custom time zone field. Please note that this is a simplified example and may need to be adjusted based on your specific requirements and the actual structure of your NetSuite account.
