so check your NTP hardware for this issue.

Many receiver manufacturers will set the receiver to run for the full epoch from the date of their firmware. So if your receiver manufacturer has set the epoch start date in the middle of the epoch then it will run to the middle of the next epoch. Please contact the manufacturer to enquire if they have a firmware update for the 2019 rollover. If not check on the firmware date <deleted>, create a rollover scenario with a full epoch ahead and test.
