Tools for hours and pay
Labonworks builds tools that re-check the arithmetic behind a payslip — the numbers that print every month and that almost nobody adds up again.
The two-hour gap
Clock in at 22:00, clock out at 08:00, and you have worked ten hours. The night premium covers 22:00 to 06:00 — eight of them. The last two are overtime, not night.
Apply the premium to all ten hours and the total runs high every month. Miss it and the total runs low. Either way, a single payslip will not tell you which — so it accumulates quietly.
What we are building
Shift records and pay checking
Open it once a day, tap the shift you worked, close it. At the end of the month it turns those records into what you should have been paid and compares that against what you actually received. Shift types can be renamed, and the ones you never use can be hidden.
Preparing for release
Not yet named
We decide this after Worknote is in people's hands and we can watch it being used. Confirming that what we built runs correctly comes before building more of it.

Principles
When the data is not there, we mark it "needs checking" rather than filling in something close. A conclusion drawn from an estimate cannot be checked by anyone, including us.
The screen shows one number, but the hours and rates behind it are always one tap away. A tool that checks arithmetic is worth nothing if it cannot itself be checked.
If stored data comes back damaged we leave it alone instead of resetting to defaults. Records someone built up day by day are not the app's to discard.
