Wages & Time - the simple app to track your working hours and hourly salary. Everything in one app: working hours, flexitime, project billing, readiness and driving times. Timesheets can be forwarded as PDF (or even CSV or XML) to your company or to whom it may concern for further processing. Working times on projects can be tracked. Timesheets can be entered automatically by entering an area which is defined by a GPS position and a surrounding circle. Generate reports on shifts for selected periods, to get an overview of the working time. The salary for that period is accumulated as well as the wage per hour is permanently calculated. Times can be weighted (e.g. double rate on Sundays). For each activity, a separate compensationsation can be configured. If your salary for a shift does not reach a minimum wage and you need to show 'clean' timesheets, this app can automatically adjust the breaks for a shift, to avoid further discussions. Wages & Time will tell you precisely how much you have earned so far during your shift. No salami attack: one InApp purchase unlocks all features. Stay update to date with your current salary for your working time. Compare your salary against minimum wages as paid in several countries. Unique is the ability to run multiple timers in parallel, e.g. Driving time and working time, or to track project work and presence in parallel. Disclaimer: Wage & Time does a calculation of your gross wage. It does not take into account tax deductions and cannot substitute an accountant or financial advisor. The duty of employees for time recording decided by the ECJ in the middle of May 2019 can be fulfilled with this app. 75,000 downloads worldwide! 4.5+ stars rating. Thank You!
