Extra hours, straight pay?
Hourly staff work extra while paychecks ignore premiums. Wage gaps hide in plain sight.
1. The problem
Hourly workers clock extra hours that paychecks never premium. Managers misclassify, average illegally or shave minutes. Pay stubs confuse deliberately. Complaints risk schedules silently. The hardest part is knowing exact rights per place. A stub might hide violations in plain sight. That uncertainty makes it hard to claim wages owed.
“My extra hours never earn premiums. I need shift logs flagging violations automatically.”
2. What exists
Labor departments, wage calculators and unions explain overtime, while workers underclaim hugely. Official pages inform densely. A calculator might need inputs workers lack. There is little help with shift-logging plus automatic violation flags for hourly staff.
3. The solution
The solution could be a wage-guard for hourly workers. It could log shifts with GPS-backed times. It could compare pay against local rules automatically. Claim letters could draft with evidence attached. The goal would be every premium hour paid.
