The Shift Moved With Two Hours' Notice. Log It Before Predictability Pay Is Due

Rebuild the posted-versus-actual schedule difference as a dated claim record with the local rule named. 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): in force: predictive-scheduling ('fair workweek') laws cover one state and eleven municipalities as of mid-2026; there is no federal notice-and-predictability-pay rule, so the applicable terms are the ones in your city or state ordinance.

Automated decision this documents: algorithmic scheduling and shift-optimisation software that moves posted shifts

Free path, in order (no cost):

  1. Your state labor department's wage-claim unit (state .gov site; NAAG can find your attorney general)
  2. DOL Wage and Hour Division — 1-866-4-US-WAGE (dol.gov/agencies/whd)
  3. Legal aid or a worker centre intake through lawhelp.org if pay is withheld

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.
