How ShiftFlow Protects Your Paycheck
ShiftFlow works in four steps: log your shift, let AI verify your pay, get alerted to issues, and improve your financial health over time. Most users catch their first payroll error within two weeks.
Log Your Shift
Every protected paycheck starts with a logged shift. After each shift, open ShiftFlow and enter your basic details: start time, end time, break duration, employer, and pay rate. The whole process takes under 10 seconds.
You can also add tips earned, mileage driven (important for gig workers and contractors), and any notes about the shift. ShiftFlow immediately calculates your gross earnings for that shift and automatically applies FLSA overtime rules — flagging any hours over 40 per week at the 1.5x rate.
- +Start/end time, breaks, tips, mileage, employer
- +Auto-calculates overtime using FLSA 40-hour threshold
- +Takes under 10 seconds per shift
- +Supports multiple employers simultaneously
AI Verifies Your Pay
Once you receive your paycheck (or payslip), ShiftFlow's AI verification engine gets to work. It cross-references your total logged hours and pay against your expected pay rate, overtime eligibility, and historical patterns. This is where ShiftFlow earns its name.
The verification engine checks for underpayment against your agreed rate, missing overtime compensation (the #1 payroll error in the US), missing break premiums where applicable, and rate discrepancies. You can also use the Payslip OCR Scanner to photograph your physical payslip — ShiftFlow's computer vision engine extracts every number and verifies it automatically.

- +Checks FLSA overtime eligibility (40h weekly threshold)
- +Compares against your logged hourly/salary rate
- +OCR scanner for physical payslips
Catch Payroll Issues
When ShiftFlow detects a discrepancy — a short payment, missing overtime, or rate error — you receive an immediate alert. The alert shows exactly what was expected, what was received, and the dollar difference. ShiftFlow also generates a detailed dispute summary you can send directly to your employer or HR department.
The Payday Forecasting engine runs continuously in the background, analyzing your shift patterns and pay schedule to predict exactly when your next paycheck will arrive and how much it will be. No more financial uncertainty between paydays.

Grow Your Financial Health
Beyond payroll protection, ShiftFlow is a comprehensive financial wellness platform. Your ShiftFlow Score — a proprietary financial health metric — tracks your earnings stability, tax readiness, burnout risk, and financial trajectory over time.
The Burnout Analytics system monitors consecutive days worked, weekly hours, night shift frequency, skipped breaks, and self-reported energy levels to calculate your real-time burnout risk score. Freelancers and contractors can generate professional invoices directly from logged shifts — no manual data entry required.
