DutyPay is the shift calendar and paycheck projection tool built for public safety workers — firefighters, EMS, police, and corrections officers — by firefighters. Track your rotation. Pick up extra shifts and trade with coworkers. See how every shift, trade, and overtime hour affects your paycheck before it lands. DutyPay shows you exactly what your next check will be, what you've earned year-to-date, and what your year-end income is on pace to be. Built for the schedules that don't fit into normal apps: • 24/48, 48/96, Pitman, 4/10, and other public safety rotations • Kelly days, work period overtime (FLSA §7(k)), holiday pay, and shift differentials • Time trades with coworkers, with both legs tracked end to end • Picked-up shifts, PTO, sick time, and other deviations from your normal schedule What DutyPay does that a regular calendar can't: • Projects your paycheck before it arrives, using your real rate and overtime rules • Flags when an extra shift will tip you into overtime • Shows your effective hourly rate after OT and differentials • Year-end income projection with federal tax bracket awareness • Notifications the day before any shift outside your normal rotation Free, forever. No ads. No upsell. No selling your data. Built by Florida firefighters on the principle that the people who keep cities safe deserve tools that actually understand their work. From the team behind PensionForge, the FRS retirement planning tool.
