Another might be to change the time zone back far enough to accomplish both.
As I recall, the time sync is by UTC, and if the domain was far enough west
and the workstation TZ moved far enough east, then might it not be possible?
No telling what else might have issues though. ;-)

I realize the best practice is for time to be synced to domain,
however, what is the least intrusive way to allow a few workstations
to change their
date.
It is not simply a best practice.
It is an Active Directory requirement for Domain Members.
Having it hold the adjusted time for an hour or so is plenty of time
to do data entry the way they are doing it, and is going to be the
best you will get short of using "workgroup machines" that aren't
domain members.
The real solution is to fix the Application so that you can input the
time rather than picking it up from the System Clock,...or the other
alternate solution is to adjust the human resource situation that is
causing the work to always end up several days behind.
So you have about 4 choices:
1. Live with the "hour" window of time between manual adjustments
2. Fix the Application
3. Use Workgroup Machines instead of Domain Members
4. Fix the human situation that is letting the work get behind
Additional Concern:
It is possible from an Accounting perspective that what you are doing
by adjusting the clock could actually be illegal because it may be
looked at as falsifying records. This situation has become a lot
more sensitive since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPPA, and similar
Government actions,...and then it has become even more sensitive
after the recent Government "bail outs" of some businesses where the
government may be watching a lot more closely at how well businesses
are operated since a failing business can cost them money.
