You can easily calculate the epoch time from a given date: POSIX.1 defines it as the seconds passed since Jan 1st, 1970, 0:00:00. The following additional rules apply:

leap seconds are not taken into account, each day is exactly 86400 seconds
leap years are: all years divisible by 4, save for the years divisible by 100 but not by 400
notice that non-synchronous NTP time is NOT POSIX-compatible

Many systems in fact are not POSIX-compatible in this regard, because they use Mills-algorithm-based NTP Stratum-2-servers.

I hope this helps.
