iOS, Android app empowers workers, provides employers valuable resource
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced that the Spanish-language version of the department’s Timesheet App for iOS or Android devices – that tracks work hours, break time, overtime worked and calculates wages due – is now available for free download.
The update expands worker and employer access to the department’s Wage and Division Timesheet App to record hours accurately and help ensure that employers pay their workers their legally earned wages and avoid costly violations of federal labor laws.
“Too often, vulnerable workers may not know their rights, may not understand English and may fear losing their job or hurting their immigration status if they ask questions about their employers’ pay practices,” said Principal Deputy Wage and Hour Administrator Jessica Looman. “Making our Timesheet App more accessible to more workers will help us reach and inform them, help them track their hours and earnings, and show them we are here to help when they need us.”
A joint effort of the division and the department’s Office of the Chief Information Officer, the app allows workers to ensure all their hours of work are recorded, including those hours when they telework, travel, perform pre- or post-shift work, or log-in while on call. The app provides instruction and guidance to ensure more workers can maintain a record of work hours and verify that pay records are correct.
