UTC Offset Question

I have a creation form that takes 2x dates.

@model directoryData.ViewModels.SessionViewModel

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Create";
}
<h4>Create New Session for @Model.ClientName</h4>
<hr />
<div class="row" style="margin: 10px">
    <div class="col-md-4">

        <form asp-action="Create" asp-controller="Session" method="post" asp-route-session="@Model.Session">
            <input asp-for="@Model.Session.ClientId" class="form-control" style="display: none" />
            <ejs-datetimepicker id="startdatetimepicker" placeholder="Select a date and time" ejs-for="@Model.Session.StartTime"  ></ejs-datetimepicker>
            <ejs-datetimepicker id="enddatetimepicker" placeholder="Select a date and time" ejs-for="@Model.Session.EndTime"  ></ejs-datetimepicker>
            <div class="form-group">
                <input type="submit" value="Create Session" class="btn btn-primary"/>
            </div>
        </form>
    
    </div>
</div>

Here is my model:

  public class Session : EntityBase
    {
        [Key]
        public int SessionId { get; set; }

        [Required]
        public Guid ClinicId{ get; set; }
        [Required]
        public Guid ClientId { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public Guid EmployeeId { get; set; }
        [Required]
        public int DeviceId { get; set; }

        [Required] public DateTimeOffset StartTime { get; set; } = DateTimeOffset.Now;

        [Required]
        public DateTimeOffset EndTime { get; set; } = DateTimeOffset.Now.AddHours(4);

        public string Note { get; set; }
    }

When I debug locally, my time comes through with the UTC offset attached (2019-08-12 23:36:00.0000000 -06:00)
otherwise, when published, the time comes through without the offset (2019-08-12 23:36:00.0000000 00:00)

How do I get the website (client) to understand the UTC offset to send when creating a new session?

Thanks.

I think I have nearly solved my issue. The client needs to pass an offset to my controller so when I store time, I know correct UTC with that.

Thanks for your help. I will reopen another ticket in the correct control.
