Keep your own record of every shift and know for sure you were paid right. ShiftWallet logs your hours, works out what you should earn with your real rates and premiums, and compares it with what actually reached your account. If something is missing, you'll see it, and you'll have the record to back it up. CHECK YOUR PAYCHECK • Enter what you were paid, gross or net, and see line by line where it matches and where it doesn't • It knows how your pay calendar works: cut-off dates, premiums paid a period later, night shifts split at midnight • Before you raise it with your employer, it tells you what could explain the difference, like a shift that wasn't paid or a premium that comes next month • US overtime on the regular rate, the way the FLSA counts it, with night and other premiums included. A check that pays overtime on your base rate shows up as a mismatch, with the reason KEEP PROOF OF YOUR HOURS • Clock in and out with one tap, or add a shift you forgot • Every shift keeps a history of how it was logged and every change made after • Export a dated proof of hours as PDF or CSV PAID OR STILL OWED • Mark shifts as paid and see what you're still waiting for, by job and currency • A gentle heads-up when pay is overdue YOUR PAY, YOUR RULES • Night premium, daily and weekly overtime, weekends, holidays and more than one rate in a single shift • Pay templates for the US, the UK, Spain and Germany when you set up a job • On a salary? See what you really make per hour worked, next to the minimum wage LESS TYPING • Bring in your schedule from your calendar, an .ics file or a photo of the roster • Reminders to clock in and out, and clocking by location if you turn it on • Siri and Shortcuts: clock in or out, pay period total, overtime, log hours by voice, or clock with an NFC tag • Time off, mileage and a pay summary you can share • Apple Watch app, widgets and Live Activities • Works without an account, offline too, and backs up to the cloud UPGRADE TO PRO: ANNUAL OR WEEKLY SUBSCRIPTION Choose an annual or weekly subscription.
