Deadline
In some cases when using Deadlines and Working hours which are configured from K2 Management during runtime, the Deadline action is taken outside of the configured working hours.

Reminders
Reminders use the default working hours configuration when it's not expected.
Reminders should not use working hours. This has been fixed in K2 Cloud Update 6 and will soon be fixed in K2 Five 5.2 Latest CU.
For the longer term Reminders working hours support was added to K2 Cloud and K2 Five 5.3.
