Record My Hours app
Important Update: For existing iOS (Apple) Record My Hours App users
In the coming weeks, a new iOS (Apple) version of the Record My Hours app will be released. When users update to the new version, their existing hours of work and other data stored in the app won’t transfer across to the new version. To keep their existing app data users must export and save their data outside the app now. If users have automatic updates enabled for the app, they should export their data now in case they wish to access it again later.
Don’t wait – save your information today!
Our Record My Hours app makes it quick and easy for employees to record and store the hours they work, plus other information about their employment.

New Record My Hours app
We've rebuilt our Record My Hours smartphone app to make it more modern and secure.
The new version of the app continues to make it easy for users to record their hours of work. This means they will have this information in the future if they need it to help with a workplace issue.
The new Android version of the app was released in May 2024. We are rolling it out for iOS (Apple) users in the coming weeks.
Data for existing iOS app users
For existing iOS app users, hours of work and any other data stored in the app won’t transfer when they update to the new version.
Users wishing to keep their existing data must export and save it outside the app before upgrading to the new version. Users with automatic updates enabled for the app, should export their data now in case they need to access it again after the app automatically updates.
They can do this in the app by exporting their data:
- to their preferred email address, or
- to their personal iCloud account.
About the app
Sometimes employers fail to properly keep employee records. This lack of records makes it difficult for an employee, or us, to address concerns about underpayments.
We already recommend employees manually record their hours (e.g. in a diary) – now we’ve made it easier to do.
Employees can retrieve this information instantly if an issue about their pay arises and be confident when discussing the issue with their employer. Users can export the data via email to save it somewhere securely, share it with their employer or even with us if they have a question about their entitlements.
How it works
Our app allows users to automatically record when they start and finish work, based on their location. Users can also manually input shifts or fine-tune an automatic estimated shift for added accuracy.
Automatic recording won’t work for all job types, such as people working in areas with no mobile or Wi-Fi coverage or people who frequently travel for work. It also doesn’t work reliably or at all on some Android and Apple phones. Manual recording has been incorporated to cater for this.
Other functionality includes the ability to:
- view, store and export shift history
- back up information to users own personal cloud storage
- keep track of all shifts for multiple jobs and workplaces
- take and add photos of information that belongs to the employee (or they're allowed to access), like their own pay slips.
Android users
Android users who want to use the app to automatically record when they start and finish work, based on their location, must turn off Battery Optimisation (in their phone Settings). If battery optimisation is turned on for this app, it may prevent automatic recording from working.
