The problem this product is built around
A personal work record is useful only when it survives a question: when did the shift start, what was edited, and which pay rule produced the total? A notes app can store a number but rarely stores the assumptions that make it explainable.
How HourStamp solves it
HourStamp keeps device-time entries, explicit edits and pay settings as part of the ledger. Estimates show the basis, and a PDF summary turns a period into a shareable explanation while original entries remain available. Open the HourStamp product page for current availability and plan details.
A practical workflow
- Set the cycle and pay basis before the first entry.
- Record close to the shift and make corrections explicit.
- Review the period with the denominator visible.
- Export a PDF but keep the editable ledger for changes.
What to check before you trust the result
A personal ledger is not an employer’s official timesheet or a legal wage determination. Its value is preserving assumptions and evidence for a better conversation.
Who this workflow is for
Use it before payroll discussions, freelance invoices or customer handoffs.
