I think the only real fix is to stick on a battery back rtc.. Something like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12708 Then change the generic script to read ^ that's value.. For "Jessie" i've changed this again, it'll use systemd-timesyncd which is a little more accurate then my ball park fix..
