Built for anyone working more than one job. MULTIPLE JOBS Add as many jobs as you work. Each gets its own color, position, hourly rate, start date and location. Worked two jobs in one day? Log both — they stay separate everywhere in the app, and saving one no longer locks the other. TIPS, TIP-OUTS AND TAKE-HOME Enter your hours, the tips you collected and what you tipped out. The app does the math: hourly pay + tips − tip out = your real take-home. EARNINGS THAT ADD UP See what you made this week, this month and year to date — broken out per job and combined, with tips and tip-outs shown separately. A CALENDAR YOU CAN READ AT A GLANCE Green for worked, blue for pass, orange for refusal, gray for off, purple for FMLA, red for call out. Multi-job days show a bar per job. SENIORITY WHERE IT BELONGS Seniority lists moved into the Contacts tab, under Must Know Contacts, and are tracked per job. NEW HERE? START WITH THE WALKTHROUGH A visual tutorial in the More tab walks you through logging a shift, reading the calendar and tracking earnings. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Exporting now opens the share sheet, so you can save to Files, email it or send it anywhere • CSV export adds hourly rate, hourly pay, tip out and take-home columns for tax season • Overtime is not calculated — rates vary too much between employers Everything stays on your device.
