Reporting a wrong rule
This is the most valuable thing you can send, because a wrong rule makes the number wrong for everyone who shares your situation. The most useful reports include:
- Which tool and which state or rule was selected.
- The figures you entered and the answer you got.
- The answer you expected, and the statute, regulation or agency page that says so. A citation turns a disagreement into a fix.
Rules change — thresholds are amended and holidays are reassigned. If something was right last year and is not now, that is worth knowing too.
Requesting a tool
Describe the situation rather than the feature. "I need to work out whether my split shift counts as one shift" is more useful than "add a split shift option", because the underlying problem is often solvable in a way that helps more people.
What this is not
This is not a wage claim service and cannot represent you. If you believe you have been underpaid, the free and effective route is your state labour department — most take complaints online, they can compel records, and using them costs nothing. The US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division handles federal claims.
Please do not send pay stubs, employment contracts or anything identifying your employer. They are not needed to fix a calculator, and this site is not set up to hold documents of that kind.
