The app is compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch and may be expanded to other smartphone platforms. In announcing the new tool, the Labor Department stresses that workers can now keep their own time records for hours worked and overtime hours, instead of relying on the employer’s records. Information on the app and how it works can be found from the Department of Labor at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dol-timesheet/id433638193?mt=8

A printable work hours calendar is also available from the Labor Department for workers without smartphones at:  http://www.dol.gov/whd/FLSAEmployeeCard/calendarR5Web.pdf
