What [member=5239]torreydale[/member] said. Make sure that Time and Date Settings is configured to use the correct Time Zone and to stay synchronized with Internet servers.

From Terminal:

Make sure the timezone is properly set in your system

Code:

cat /etc/timezone
America/New_York   <= that's my timezone

Reconfigure... set your timezone:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

... and reboot.

After reboot, check the NTP service is running...

Code:

systemctl status ntp

If it is running, let's tells the ntp daemon to correct the time regardless of the offset:

Code:

sudo systemctl stop ntp
sudo ntpd -gq
sudo systemctl start ntp

Unless the wrong timezone is set or else you have defined a local ntp server (a switch, a local server) that is forcing the time difference I'm not sure what could be causing such issue.
