Schedule changes = money owed

What ShiftProof does

If you work retail, fast food, or coffee in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, or anywhere in Oregon, the schedule your manager posts is covered by a Fair Workweek law. These laws generally require around 14 days of advance notice, and when the posted schedule changes after that, most of them say you are owed extra money: predictability pay for added, moved, shortened, or cancelled shifts, and higher pay when a closing shift runs straight into an opening shift. New York City enforcement alone has returned roughly 80 million dollars to more than 35,000 workers. Every one of those cases ran on documentation — and almost nobody keeps a record of what the schedule said before it changed.

ShiftProof keeps that record. The day the schedule goes up, photograph the posted sheet or import a screenshot from your scheduling app. ShiftProof timestamps the snapshot and locks it. When the schedule changes, log the change in seconds — which shift, what kind of change, how much notice you got — and the app scores it against your city's actual ordinance using rule packs bundled for all twelve covered jurisdictions, fully offline. It also watches your logged shifts for clopenings, the short close-to-open turnarounds that most covered cities pay extra for and almost no worker knows to claim.

Then watch the counter. Your Owed Counter card shows how many times your schedule changed and the estimated pay those changes carry under your city's law — exportable as a clean image for the store group chat, because your whole crew lives under the same chaotic schedule.

Ready to act? ShiftProof assembles snapshots, change log, and per-change estimates into a dated evidence packet organized around what city labor offices ask complainants to provide.

ShiftProof does not file claims, contact your employer, or give legal advice. Amounts shown are estimates under published ordinance rates — what you actually recover is decided by your city's enforcement agency. Everything stays on your phone: no account, no cloud, nothing your employer can see.

What's inside

• Schedule Snapshots — Photograph the posted schedule the day it goes up, or import a screenshot from the employer's scheduling app. Each snapshot is timestamped, locked, and tied to a work week, so there is always a record of what the schedule said before it changed.
• Change Log — Log every added, moved, shortened, or cancelled shift against the locked snapshot in seconds. Each change records the notice given and is priced under the active jurisdiction's ordinance: predictability-pay hours or premium multipliers, always labeled as an estimate.
• Jurisdiction Rule Packs — Bundled offline rules for NYC, Chicago, LA city and county, Philadelphia, Seattle, SF, Berkeley, Emeryville, Evanston, and Oregon: notice windows, per-change pay, clopening thresholds, and coverage criteria, each with an effective date and a plain-English summary.
• Owed Counter Card — The shareable moment: a bold running counter — schedule changed 23 times in 90 days, estimated predictability pay under NYC Fair Workweek: $612 — rendered as a brutalist card exportable as an image for the store group chat.
• Clopening Detector — Scans logged shifts for close-to-open turnarounds under the jurisdiction's threshold (10 or 11 hours) and flags each one with the premium the ordinance attaches, since clopening pay is the least-claimed entitlement in every covered city.
• Evidence Packet — Assembles snapshots, the change log, notice timelines, and per-change estimates into a dated PDF organized around what NYC DCWP and Chicago BACP ask complainants to provide, ready to attach to an agency complaint.

Why we built it

Fair Workweek laws entitle covered workers to 14 days' schedule notice, predictability pay for every post-posting change, and clopening premiums — but enforcement runs on worker documentation, employer scheduling apps overwrite history, and nobody keeps a timestamped record of what the posted schedule said before it c…

What makes it different

Every existing scheduling-compliance tool serves the employer: 7shifts, Homebase, Deputy, Rippling, and Workforce.com exist to help the company avoid paying predictability pay, and there is no worker-side counterpart. The free DOL Timesheet app logs hours worked but has no schedule snapshots, no change diffing, and no…

Who it's for

Operations leaders and small teams who want a tool in their workflow without buying another platform.
