'Jira timezone' option is based on the 'Default user time zone' from System/General configuration, and displays all logged hours in that timezone. Why is this important? If your employees are located across multiple timezones, you need to make sure that their timezones are set properly so that the report is consistent.

Example

User	Time zone	Worklog value	Worklog date
User1	Asia/Singapore, UTC+8	1h	March 10, 2019, 01:00 AM
User2	Asia/Singapore, UTC+8	2h	April 10, 2019, 8:00 PM
User3	Europe/Warsaw, UTC+1	3h	May 10, 2019, 08:00 PM
User4	America/New_York, UTC-5	4h	June 10, 2019, 05:00 PM
User5	America/Los_Angeles, UTC-8	5h	July 10, 2019, 05:00 PM
