Last month, the Department of Labor introducted a new Smartphone application that allows workers to easily track and record the hours they work and how much they should be paid.

The application was designed to help settle any wage and hour disputes between employees and employers.  The Department named it DOL-Timsheet.  With the app, smartphone users and workers can enter and calculate regular working hours, lunch breaks, other breaks, and overtime hours.  Furthermore, with this information, the application can give workers an idea of how much they should be paid for the hours they worked.

"This app will help empower workers to understand and stand up for their rights when employers have denied their hard-earned pay," said Department of Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis.
