FWIW, this is extracted from my /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# hwclock.sh Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
#
# Version: @(#)hwclock.sh 2.00 14-Dec-1998 miquels@cistron.nl
| [...]
| case "$1" in

| # Updates the Hardware Clock with the System Clock time.
| # This will *override* any changes made to the Hardware Clock.

| # WARNING: If you disable this, any changes to the system

And the script is linked in /etc/rc[06].d to stop. So with SysV, at
least, things are set up to update the hwclock at shutdown.
Don't know how things are in the Brave New Systemd World, though.
