Reproducing the Issue

When we try to create a Work Schedule Day Model which crosses midnight, say the work starts at 9PM and ends at 5AM next morning, we get below error "One of the end times is the same as, or earlier than, the corresponding start time. Please correct this." as the system considers the PM and AM to be from same day:
