Wage & Hour Overview
We encourage businesses to have policies that require employees to train while they're at work. In order to ensure that your team understand your policies and that you have written record of their agreement and compliance to it, we partnered with Fox Rothschild LLC to implement a redundant checks and balances system:
Training policy certification at the start of training
Clock-in confirmation to ensure your team confirms they are clocked in before they train
Reporting on training session time, down to the second, in the event you need to verify training times
Clock-in Confirmation
The Wage and Hour settings allows you to mandate which actions in the app require clock-in confirmation. There are three actions to choose from:
Modules - when a trainee taps to begin a modules
Resources - when a trainee taps to view a resource
Messages - when a trainee taps to view a message
Clicking the toggle for any of the above will trigger a pop up in the app requiring the trainee click "Yes" or "No" in response to the question, "Are you clocked in right now", before proceeding with that action.
If a trainee taps "yes", they will be allowed to proceed with the action and will not be asked to confirm clock-in for another 4 hours.
If a trainee replies "no", they will receive another pop-up message reminding them that they must be clocked-in in order to proceed. If they attempt the action again, they will again be asked again to confirm that they are clocked-in.
Training Session Reporting
There are two ways to retrieve training session reports for your organization.
You can export them manually using the Custom Report Builder.
OR you can request CSV exports from your dedicated Custome Success Manager by emailing support@opus.so.
These reports will show when your team is using Opus.
FAQ: Geofencing limitation
Opus platform does not enforce wage & hour compliance using geofencing. It's understandable to want to proactively prohibit usage. However, we've identified several limitations to geofencing:
It isn't always accurate. Geofencing is only as good as the amount of employees who allow GPS tracking (location services) or by using a VPN on their personal device or tablet
Asking for location permissions from your employees can breach trust and make employees uncomfortable
It doesn't actually mean that your team is clocked in
Given these limitations, we've determined that our wage & hour feature provides the best training experience while also enforcing policy.
