Read the ledgerStart with the facts. Keep the evidence.
LinePaycheck estimates pay from the work you record and the rules you confirm. On payday, it compares those records with the paycheck facts you have reviewed. It does not connect to your employer or decide what you are legally owed.
New here? Follow your first pay period . Already have a paycheck? Choose the matching work period and import it . Moving phones? Make a complete backup first .
Before any full-paycheck comparison: record the complete period and confirm what the paystub’s gross amount includes. A partial work log, take-home deposit, or unconfirmed rule can make a convincing number misleading.
What do you need to do?
Start here
- Your first pay period
Set up your pay, record a real shift, and prepare for your first paycheck comparison.
- Set up a pay profile
Choose the right rate, timezone, cadence, and source references before calculating pay.
- Manage work periods and payday
Keep period dates correct, close work before payday, and check an earlier paycheck later.
Record your work
- Record, repeat, and correct work
Save real clock times and unpaid breaks without turning paid guarantees into fake worked hours.
- Configure the rules that apply
Understand daily overtime, date premiums, callout minimums, and separate per-diem amounts.
- Choose where a rule change applies
Separate future rates, dated changes, and corrections to the entire open period.
- Read your expected-pay ledger
Trace an expected amount to actual work, its applied rule, and the calculation behind it.
Check a paycheck
- Bring in the right paycheck
Scan, choose a photo or file, or enter paystub facts manually for the correct work period.
- Confirm the facts before comparing
Review source values, confirm complete work and gross basis, and exclude uncertain lines honestly.
- Match the paystub’s gross and line layout
Avoid false differences caused by net pay, per diem, premium-only overtime, or guaranteed-hour reporting.
- Understand the result and its limits
Read the verdict, comparison scope, difference direction, and evidence before taking action.
- Trace a difference and share a report
Follow a compared line back to work, rules, and the paystub without sharing more than necessary.
- Use History and audit revisions
Add late paychecks, correct confirmed paycheck facts, and return to earlier audit evidence.
Keep control

Make a complete manual copy and understand exactly what replacing local data will do.
