Terms of Use

Effective Date: March 22, 2026 · Last Updated: March 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using ShiftWorth ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download or use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the developer of ShiftWorth ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

ShiftWorth is a mobile application designed to help registered nurses and other shift-based healthcare workers:

• Calculate estimated per-shift earnings including base pay, night differentials, weekend differentials, holiday pay, and overtime
• Estimate overtime and review a blended regular-rate calculation for standard 40-hour workweeks
• Compare estimated earnings between different shifts
• Verify paychecks by comparing estimated calculations against actual pay received
• Estimate federal and state tax withholdings
• Track shift history and generate exportable records

3. Important Disclaimers

3.1 Not Professional Advice

ShiftWorth is an informational and educational tool only. The App is not a substitute for, and does not constitute:

• Professional financial advice or financial planning
• Legal advice regarding employment law, FLSA compliance, or labor disputes
• Tax advice or tax preparation services
• Certified payroll auditing or accounting services
• Official wage-and-hour calculations for legal proceedings

3.2 Calculation Accuracy

While ShiftWorth strives for accuracy in its calculations, all results are estimates and may differ from your actual pay due to factors including but not limited to:

• Employer-specific pay policies, collective bargaining agreements, and institutional rules that vary from standard FLSA calculations
• State-specific overtime laws that may differ from federal FLSA regulations
• Pre-tax deductions (health insurance, retirement contributions, FSA/HSA, union dues) not accounted for in the App
• Employer-specific differential rates that may differ from the rates you enter
• Rounding differences between payroll systems
• Changes in tax brackets, tax law, or state regulations after the App's last update
• Special pay arrangements, stipends, bonuses, or non-standard compensation

3.3 Tax Estimates

Tax withholding estimates are based on published 2026 IRS federal tax brackets and available state income tax rates as of the App's last update. These estimates:

• Do not account for all possible deductions, credits, filing statuses, or exemptions
• May not reflect the most recent changes to tax law
• Should not be used for tax filing or formal tax planning
• May differ significantly from your actual tax withholding or tax liability

3.4 FLSA Calculations

ShiftWorth calculates overtime using the FLSA "regular rate" method as described in 29 CFR §778.115. However:

• Your employer may have legitimate reasons for calculating overtime differently (e.g., Belo contracts, fluctuating workweek agreements, state-specific methods)
• Some differential payments may be excludable from the regular rate under specific FLSA exemptions
• The App cannot account for all possible exceptions, exemptions, or employer-specific circumstances

4. Use at Your Own Risk

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Any actions you take based on ShiftWorth's calculations are at your sole risk and responsibility
• You should verify all calculations with your employer's HR or payroll department, your union representative, or a qualified employment attorney before taking any formal action
• ShiftWorth's calculations should be used as a starting point for discussion, not as conclusive evidence of underpayment
• The Developer is not responsible for any consequences arising from actions taken based on the App's calculations

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years of age to use ShiftWorth. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

6. In-App Purchases

6.1 Pro Upgrade

ShiftWorth offers a one-time in-app purchase ("Pro") that unlocks additional features. The app also includes a 7-day in-app trial for Pro features. After that trial, Free features remain available and you may choose whether to buy the one-time Pro unlock.

6.2 Payment Processing

All purchases are processed through Apple's App Store. By making a purchase, you also agree to Apple's Terms and Conditions.

6.3 Refunds

Refund requests must be directed to Apple through the App Store, as we do not process payments directly. Apple's refund policy governs all purchase-related refunds.

6.4 Restoring Purchases

You can restore your Pro purchase on any device signed in with the same Apple ID by using the "Restore Purchases" option in the App's Settings.
