Tracking Wages? There’s An App For That!

With all the new age technology available today, it’s not surprising this is now available, but it IS surprising that it took this long.  Here’s the deal.  Maybe you don’t trust your boss to keep an accurate record of the time you work or you’re scared that something’s fishy about your pay check in regards to your wages.  Well now you can do it yourself with a new smart phone application from the Department of Labor.  It’s called “DOL-Timesheet” and will let you calculate your regular work hours, break time and overtime pay to create your own wage records.  The DOL says the information could be valuable  in a dispute over pay or in a government investigation where your employer failed to keep accurate records.  The app is available now for iPhone and iPod Touch and they’re hoping to have versions soon for Blackberry and Android phones.
