Hi Payroll, my gross for Oct 12 to Oct 25 was $4,824.00. By my calculation it should be $4,852.00. It looks like the overtime premium was computed on base rate rather than my regular rate including differentials…

Privacy first

Your pay is your business

Yours.

Your shifts and stubs belong to you. Export or delete everything, anytime.

Not sold.

No ads, no data brokers, no selling to employers or staffing agencies. Ever.

No patients.

OwlStub only stores dates, hours and rates. Nothing about patients, so nothing to worry about under HIPAA.

What it catches

Six situations OwlStub is built for

The payroll mistakes nurses run into most, and what OwlStub does about each one.

Overtime on base rate

Payroll pays overtime at 1.5× the base rate and leaves the night differential out. On eight overtime hours, that's $24 short every period, all year.

The line you can't read

A stub with nine pay codes and no hours next to them. The breakdown shows every line with the hours and rate behind it, so the wrong one stands out.

Two contracts, two rulebooks

A travel nurse with a staff job and a 13-week contract. Each employer keeps its own rates, overtime rule, and pay periods, so nothing gets mixed up.

The Saturday night that paid like a Tuesday

Weekend differential starts Friday at 7p. A 7p to 7a Saturday shift is 12 weekend hours, and the check should show it.

The whole unit comparing stubs

Four nurses on the same floor, same differentials, same error. One dispute note, copied four times, gets four corrections.

The partner who does the budget

A read-only view for whoever runs the household money. They see what each check should be, without seeing the login.

Pricing

One simple plan. That's it.

No ads, no selling your data, no upsells. One plan with everything, including sharing with a partner or union rep. One missed differential on one check usually covers the year.

Questions

Does OwlStub connect to my hospital's payroll system?

No, and that's on purpose. You log shifts yourself and type the gross from your stub. OwlStub never asks for your employer login, and it never touches patient records.

Why do differentials matter for overtime?

Under federal law, shift differentials count toward your regular rate of pay. Your overtime premium is calculated on that blended rate, not your base rate alone. Paying overtime on base only is one of the most common wage errors in healthcare payroll.

Which overtime rules are supported?

Federal (over 40 hours in a workweek), the hospital 8 and 80 system (over 8 in a day or 80 in a 14-day period), and California (daily overtime, with support for approved 12-hour alternative workweek schedules). More states are added as nurses ask.

Can I share it with someone?

Yes. Invite a partner, a union rep, or a tax preparer to a read-only view at no extra cost. They see your shifts and paychecks, not your login.

Does it work for travel or agency nurses?

Yes. Each contract gets its own rates and overtime rule. OwlStub checks the taxable hourly portion of your pay and tracks stipends separately so you can see they arrived.

Is there a free trial?

No. OwlStub is $12 a month from day one, cancel anytime, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't find a problem or save you time in your first month, ask for your money back.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. OwlStub does arithmetic using published wage rules. If your employer disputes a correction, your HR department, union rep, or state labor office is the next step.
