No, the GPS system does account for leap seconds and other adjustments.
But to get that one has to receive the long/large frame that takes about
15 minutes. I don't know what/where you are getting your data but in
general a new GPS has to see satellites for 15 minutes before making the
12 second (last time I checked) adjustment.
