WORK / PAYROLL

The Timekeeping System Rounded Your Hours Away. Dispute It With the Record

Pair your own clock times with the payroll stub and total the difference as a written correction request. It runs locally in this browser and sends nothing.

LIMIT FIRST: This is a record-keeping aid, not legal or tax advice. It cannot compel a payment, overturn a deactivation, or determine whether a specific practice is unlawful.

Cost and free path

Cost: Free: one complete run in this browser, no account. Optional $4 one-time unlock allows unlimited runs of this tool on this browser. The free path and safety guidance never require payment.

Rule status (mixed route): structural: the FLSA requires accurate records of hours worked and payment for them (state rules add overtime, final-pay and pay-frequency terms). Timekeeping accuracy obligations do not change because the rounding is automated. Reviewed 2026-10-03 against DOL Wage and Hour guidance.

Automated decision this documents: automated timekeeping that rounds, categorises, or auto-approves hours

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. DOL Wage and Hour Division — 1-866-4-US-WAGE (dol.gov/agencies/whd)
  2. Your state labor department's wage-claim unit
  3. Legal aid intake through lawhelp.org for claims below the federal threshold

What this cannot do: It cannot compel a payment, overturn a deactivation, or determine whether a specific practice is unlawful.

BASIS / NOT A VERDICT

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
