The Department of Labor (DOL) - which, by the way, estimates that 70 percent of employers are not in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) - has unveiled a free smartphone application that allows workers to track their hours so they can figure out exactly how much compensation they're owed for time worked.
Yes, there's an app for that!
Plus, the app includes a prominent "contact us" icon, making the DOL just a quick finger-tap away for any employee who believes he or she is being underpaid. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis notes that the technology could prove "invaluable" during wage/hour investigations that allege inaccurate employer time records.
Do you need a wage and hour audit? Don't spend money paying penalties and fines. Use your money wisely, protect your company.
