For when the pay never quite adds up

You know something is off with your pay. You just can’t say exactly what.

It is never one big thing. It is small, it is most weeks, and nobody writes it down — so when you do say something, there is nothing to point at.

Not sure anything’s wrong? Keep your own books anyway.

A pay stub arrives days or weeks after the work. By then, the week is a blur. A record you keep as you go means that on pay day you already have your own side to set next to it.

Why keep a record when nothing’s wrong →

It looks different depending on how you are paid

Paid hourly

Ten minutes before open, through your break, twenty after close — none of it on the stub.

Salaried

Fifty hours for a forty-hour agreement, week after week, at the same salary.

Gig

The app counts your jobs. Nobody counts your waiting, your miles or your costs.

Commission

The deal closed. The commission didn’t land, or landed short, or came back later.

What you walk away with

Right now you have a feeling. By the next pay day you have four things, and none of them is a feeling.

  1. 01

    Every shift, dated the day you worked it

    In your words and your figures — plus anything that went wrong that day.

  2. 02

    What that pay period should have come to

    Worked out from the deal you say you agreed. Never a rule we made up for you.

  3. 03

    The difference, in dollars, with the day behind it

    Every figure opens up to the shift it came from. Where something can’t be worked out, it says so rather than guessing.

  4. 04

    One document to hand over

    For a lawyer, your union or the Department of Labor — not a stack of stubs, texts and screenshots for somebody else to sort through.

It keeps the rest of it too — who said what, the break you were refused, the day it got unsafe, photos and documents attached to the day they belong to. That part isn’t a dollar figure. It is a dated record of what happened, which is the thing nobody has when they need it.

This is the document created with your figures

Every figure in it traces back to a day you logged and a stub you entered.

One for each way of being paid.

Nothing to sign up for.

And if it turns out your pay is fine, you will know that too.

“If it’s not documented, it’s just your word.”

Employers keep the records. Most workers don’t.

How it works

Start it, keep it, use it.

STEP 01

Start your record

Go back over your last month of work and set it against your pay stub. Fifteen minutes, and you have somewhere to stand.

STEP 02

Keep it current

Log the hours, the deductions and what was said, dated each time. Thirty seconds at the end of a shift, on your phone.

STEP 03

Use it

Export the report, or send a read-only link, to a lawyer, your union or the Department of Labor.
