  • Rota Compliance Check. Make sure your trust is not making you work illegally. Your actual rota, checked shift by shift against your contract.
  • Personalised Payslip Check. Your own rota and your own payslip side by side, month by month, so you know whether the money that arrived matches the shifts you actually worked.
  • Automatic Correction Email. Written for you from your rota check, quoting every breach and every element your schedule under-states or leaves out, addressed to the team that can fix it. You add your name and press send.
  • Test Career Decisions. Less than full time, a change of grade, a London trust, or a move to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, side by side with today.
  • Advanced salary payslip breakdowns. Gross pay composition, where every pound goes, your deductions and pay per period, all from your own rota.
  • Save every breakdown. Each rotation, its rota and every payslip you check are saved to your account, so next month is one field to fill in rather than a fresh start.
