ShiftPay shows how each shift changes your expected gross pay—not just where it sits on a calendar. Build a 2-2-3, 24-on/48-off, 3x12, or custom rotation, including overnight shifts. Add your hourly rate, pay schedule, overtime rules, unpaid breaks, and differentials to create a private on-device forecast. Before payday, model overtime, a call-off, PTO, unpaid time, training, a holiday, or a bonus. Update one shift with actual times to see the estimated gross-pay difference and the explanation behind it. After payday, compare the estimate with the actual gross amount on your pay statement and review what to verify first. The calendar, gross-pay forecast, and changed-pay explanations remain usable without a subscription. ShiftPay Pro adds advanced pay rules, reminders, widgets, Apple Watch complications, calendar export, and enhanced setup. Some features require a ShiftPay Pro subscription, sold separately. Built for shift workers, nurses, firefighters, EMS, retail, restaurants, warehouses, security, students, and anyone paid by the hour. ShiftPay is local-first. Your schedule, pay rules, reminders, logged changes, and widget data stay on your device. Note: ShiftPay estimates gross pay only. It is not an official earnings record and does not guarantee pay. Always verify against your official records.
