The Labor Department is out with its very first smartphone app. It’s designed to let anyone track the hours they work and the wages due to them. The idea, according to Labor is to let employees keep their own records, so they don’t have to rely on their employers’ systems. The department says that information can prove invaluable when it comes to disputes filed with the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division. For now, the app is for iPhone only, but Labor says they’re exploring other devices.
