public Date getDate(TimeZone tz)
```
    Returns Date representation of StartTime as parsed at a given timezone. Master does not return a timezone associated with StartTime timestamp string, therefore an explicit timezone needs to be provided for correct parsing.

    Returns:
    
    Date representation of StartTime at provided timezone

```
public Date getDate()
```
    Returns Date representation of StartTime as parsed using default timezone.
    NOTE: If master is using a different timezone than the default timezone of the user of this API, then the returned Date will be incorrect.
    
    Returns:
    
    Date representation of StartTime using default timezone.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of StartTime. This is the same string that is passed to the constructor.
