Good to know

  • Amounts are before tax. For take-home estimates, turn on Settings › Tax Estimate › Show After-Tax Estimates (see the Tax tutorial). Deductions and salary packaging have their own tutorials.
  • A day with more than one entry shows Day Total instead of Shift Wage.
  • Tap another day while the box is open and it changes to that day.
  • On a public holiday the box says so, with the holiday's name.
  • A clock on the role pill means that shift was paid under an earlier job; tap it to see your job history.
  • A pay day with no shift of its own opens under a Day Off heading; the pay is under it.
  • Money bag on the wrong day, or dates that don't match your payslip? Fix them in Settings › Pay Day.
  • Turn on Show Employer Contribution in Settings › Superannuation to see your employer's super on each pay day.
  • Add the Pay Day widget for a countdown on your Home Screen.
  • Month Earnings counts the shifts in that month; a pay day counts its own pay period, so the two can differ a little.
  • On short periods, Stats shows the change from the period before (for example "+$212 vs last pay cycle"). It isn't shown for All Time or a year that's still going.
  • All Time includes shifts up to about three months ahead. For shifts further ahead, pick the year or financial year they fall in.
  • For longer periods, the dates under the period end on the last day you have something entered.
  • No Data for This Period? Pick a wider period, or tap Show All Time.
  • Stats only counts what's on your Roster, including future shifts in the period you pick.
  • The short note under your shift is Daily Mindfulness; switch it off in Settings › Customise.
  • You can also ask AskAI to explain a shift or a pay.
  • Multi-Job Mode: each job gets its own pay-day card, and Stats has a job button at the top right (see the Multi-Job tutorial).
  • The shifts, dates and pay in this tutorial are an example.
