Corrected entry: At various times in the film, Jake makes video logs. His 1st is dated May 19th, at approx. 17:09, his 12th is dated May 30th, at approx. 21:32, and his last (98th) is dated August 24th at 19:10. All in the year 2154. At no point in the film are we made aware of the lenghth of Pandoran days and/or nights. Pandora orbits a gas giant, Polyphemus, along with other moons, and Polyphemus orbits the sun, Alpha Centauri A. It's therefore highly unlikely that a Pandoran day (including the night) will be anywhere close to 24hours, which will subsequently affect the lengths of Pandoran weeks, months, years etc. Even if "earth-like" time, days and months were imposed to try and keep a sense of nomality it would never work.

Correction: Just because they are working on Pandora, doesn't mean they have to adopt the Pandoran calendar and time measurements. They are only "visitors" so they would keep in time with their own time/calendar system and report back to Earth using these measurements. There's no reason why they would have to keep time with Pandora's system.
