An iPhone App that Helps Employees Win Overtime Pay Claims
There is now an iphone app that lets employees track there own hours and determine the gross wages due, including overtime pay. This is a great new tool for employees who are being screwed out of overtime pay or wages. Employees can now easily keep their own records of the time they worked.
It is called the Timesheet App and it was created by the U.S. Department of Labor. It is free and available in English and Spanish. The app works on iphones and on the ipod touch. Employees can now easily prove how much time they worked. This could prove to be powerful evidence in an overtime pay or wage claim.
Workers who use the app can add comments about their work hours and produce a summary of hours worked in a daily, weekly and monthly format. Workers can also email the summary of hours and gross pay earned as an attachment.
In overtime pay disputes, employees do not have to rely on their employer's bogus records. Now employees can keep their own records on the app and these records can prove invaluable in cases where employers do not maintain accurate records.
If are not being paid your full wages or overtime pay, you should use this app to record your hours. Your employer no doubt will contest your hours and with this app, you will have solid proof.
