Do I need to pay anything?
No. Work Suite is completely free for employees. Your employer pays for the Business Pro subscription that gives you access.
How do I get started?
Ask your employer to invite you through their ToolFluency Business account. You'll receive a link to create your free employee account.
Can I see my pay history?
Yes. All pay stubs generated by your employer are available in your Work Suite dashboard, downloadable as PDF at any time.
What happens if I change jobs?
Your personal account stays with you. Your old employer's data is removed from your view, and your new employer can invite you to their account. The hours and pay stubs from your old employer remain visible in your records, so you always have the receipt of work you actually did — important if you ever need to dispute a pay issue or apply for a mortgage.
Is my data private from my employer?
Your employer can only see the data you submit through Work Suite (timesheets, mileage, job logs). Your personal ToolFluency tools are completely separate and private. They cannot see your budget, your bills, your photos, your notes, or anything you do outside Work Suite — even though it all lives in the same account.
What if I work for two employers at once?
Common in seasonal and gig work — you might work shifts at one business early in the week and another later on. Your account supports being invited by multiple employers; each shows up as a separate context in your sidebar. Clock in and out under whichever business you're working under that day, and each employer only sees their own hours.
Will it drain my phone battery?
No. Work Suite isn't running in the background — it's a normal web app. You open it to clock in, close it, and it stops doing anything until you open it again. No GPS tracking. No always-on location. The mileage tracker is opt-in and only runs while you're actively logging a trip.
What if I don't have a smartphone or my phone is dead at work?
Work Suite is a web app — anything with a browser works. A shared tablet, the shop computer, even an old laptop in the break room. Log in, do what you need, log out. Your employer can also enter hours on your behalf if you forget, and you'll see and be able to confirm the entry next time you log in.
What about lunch breaks and overtime?
You can log breaks manually, and the app respects whatever break policy your employer set up — some shops include lunch, some dock it. Overtime is calculated by the employer's payroll settings based on the rules of your province (8 hours daily / 40 hours weekly is the most common pattern), so it shows up correctly on your stub without you having to do math.
Does it work in remote areas with bad signal?
Mostly yes — the app caches enough that you can clock in and clock out offline. Your data syncs the moment you get signal back. If you work in genuinely dead zones (remote forestry, mining, off-grid sites), tell your employer; they can flag the day for after-the-fact entry if anything didn't sync.
