Employee clock in issue

[Bedo]

The issue is that it doesn't seem as though the code isn't getting past the 3rd if-else statement, and even if the input is correct it will say invalid times and set the values to 0. I can't tell what the problem is.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	string name;
	int startHr;
	int startMin;
	int stopHr;
	int stopMin;
	char colon;
	char time1;
	char time2;
	int hours;
	int min;
	float rate;
	float pay;

	cout << "Time Clock Program" << '\n';

	cout << "Enter worker name: ";
	cin >> name;
	cout << '\n';

	cout << "Enter start time (hh:mm A/P): ";
	cin >> startHr >> colon >> startMin >> time1;
	cout << '\n';

	cout << "Enter stop time (hh:mm A/P): ";
	cin >> stopHr >> colon >> stopMin >> time2;
	cout << '\n';

	cout << "Enter pay rate: ";
	cin >> rate;

	cout << '\n';

	if ( startHr > 12 || startHr <= 0 )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';
	
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( startMin > 59 || startMin < 0 )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( time1 != 'p' || time1 != 'a' )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( stopHr > 12 || stopHr < 0 )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( stopMin > 59 || stopMin < 0 )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( time2 != 'p' || time2 != 'a' )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( time1 == 'p' && time2 == 'a' )
	{
		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

		startHr = 0;
		startMin = 00;
		stopHr = 0;
		stopMin = 00;
	}
	else if ( time1 == 'a' && time2 == 'a' )
	{
		if ( startHr <= stopHr )
		{
			if ( startMin <= stopMin )
			{
				cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

				cout << "Invalid time! Time set to 0:00" << '\n';

				startHr = 0;
				startMin = 00;
				stopHr = 0;
				stopMin = 00;
			}
			else;
		}
		else;
	}


	



	
	

	system ("pause"); 
	return 0;
}

That's because if ( time1 != 'p' || time1 != 'a' ) is always FALSE. Write out a truth table for your comparison.
