  • Rest period compliance analysisShift-based rest period timing analysis and AB 1513 piece-rate line item requirements.
  • Off-the-clock work pattern analysisIdentification of statistical anomalies in punch data — clock-out clustering, systematic gaps at shift end.
  • Rounding policy auditAggregate analysis of net time gained or lost per employee from rounding. Tests neutrality under the See's Candy standard.
  • Overtime and double-time trigger analysisDaily and weekly overtime threshold analysis, double-time identification, and AWA compliance.
  • Schedule pattern reconstructionReconstruction of actual vs. claimed schedules from punch data for matters where the employer's scheduling position is disputed.
