The Fair Work Ombudsman's Record My Hours app makes it easy for workers to record their hours of work and pass on information about their job.
The app allows users to:
· Automatically record their time at work.
· Manually input shifts or fine-tune shift details if they need to, for example, if they don’t leave their workplace during their lunch break.
· Export timesheets (and job information) to store safely or share with a preferred representative if they have a workplace issue.
The app also includes a range of helpful features:
· View, store and export shift history.
· Back up information to personal cloud storage and easily restore it on a new device or after a factory reset.
· Keep a record of work hours for multiple jobs and workplaces, all in one place. · Take and add photos of employment information that belongs to an employee, like their own payslips.
New features are on the way. Before the update, make sure to save your work record outside the app so you’ve got a backup you can refer to later.
You can do this in the app by exporting your work record:
• to your preferred email address
• to your cloud services (such as Google Drive or iCloud account).
Privacy and Security
Only you have access to your information recorded by the app. No one can access your information unless you choose to share it. Privacy and confidentiality rules apply in the workplace. Don't take photos of other people or business information.
