Wage and hour intake software
Wage and hour intake requires mathematical proof before attorney review.
Wage and hour litigation is won or lost on evidentiary precision. Traditional intake forms gather vague recollections of missed breaks and unpaid overtime. OBE captures raw timecards, paystubs, and scheduling agreements, running deterministic audit models to verify statutory violations under California and federal labor laws before an attorney touches the file.
Paystub and timecard OCR
Deterministic data extraction pulls regular hours, overtime rates, and badge swipes directly into verifiable math models.
DLSE and statutory verification
Instant lookups confirm Alternative Workweek Schedule registration status, mileage rates, and equal pay comparator metrics.
Filing-ready audit packages
PAGA notices, class certification evidence packets, and AAA mass arbitration demands generate automatically.
I · Case intake by practice area
Specialized intake workflows built for modern employment litigation.
Employment law claims cannot be qualified with generic five-question web forms. Each wage and hour dispute hinges on distinct statutory tests and documentary requirements. OBE provides tailored intake modules for gig worker expense arbitrations, California Alternative Workweek Schedule overtime audits, gender pay equity dossiers, and off-the-clock class claims.
Claimants upload pay records, dispatch screenshots, or timesheets directly from their mobile phones. The platform immediately extracts key data points, flags missing documents, and schedules intake calls with trained wage and hour specialists.
Gig economy expense reimbursement
Captures miles driven, gas expenses, and vehicle depreciation under California Labor Code Section 2802 for rideshare and delivery drivers.
Alternative Workweek Schedule audits
Verifies whether employers held secret ballot elections and filed timely documentation with the California DLSE before enforcing 4/10 schedules.
Equal Pay Act comparator dossiers
Structures job duty comparisons, salary history inquiries, and compensation differentials under California Labor Code Section 1197.5.
Off-the-clock screening calculations
Computes shift time deltas between security checkpoint scans, pre-shift meetings, and official timecard punch logs.
II · Deterministic audit engine
Eliminating manual math errors and document reconstruction.
Paralegals often spend dozens of hours manually transcribing paper paystubs into spreadsheets to determine whether an employee has a viable overtime or meal break claim. OBE replaces manual data entry with deterministic optical character recognition and coordinate-linked field extraction.
Every wage rate, tax deduction, gross pay calculation, and timecard punch is preserved alongside its exact page coordinates on the original employer document. If an employer failed to pay daily overtime after eight hours or omitted nondiscretionary bonuses from regular rate calculations, OBE flags the violation with verifiable mathematical proof.
Coordinate-linked pay records
Every extracted rate, hourly total, and line item connects directly to the source PDF paystub or timecard.
Regular rate bonus calculations
The engine audits overtime compensation to confirm nondiscretionary bonuses were included in the regular rate of pay.
Automated statute of limitations flags
Calculates three-year and four-year lookback periods under California Labor Code and UCL Section 17200.
III · Packaging claims for class and arbitration dockets
From claimant intake to court filing or arbitration demand in minutes.
Whether your firm is filing a PAGA notice with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, pursuing a federal class action under the FLSA, or serving thousands of individual AAA or JAMS arbitration demands, OBE delivers structured claim dossiers ready for attorney sign-off.
Claimant declarations, calculated wage deficiencies, and indexed documentary exhibits package into standardized digital bundles. Supervised attorneys can review statutory damage summaries, inspect source documents, and approve filings under ABA Model Rule 5.3 with full confidence in data integrity.
LWDA and PAGA notice preparation
Generates structured claim summaries and statutory violation lists ready for state administrative filing.
Mass arbitration coordinate packages
Packages individual claimant proof, arbitration agreements, and filing fee schedules for mass rideshare and gig worker dockets.
Private MCP server integration
Allows firm litigation platforms to query verified wage calculations and document indices via secure APIs.
Questions firms ask
What teams want to know before changing their intake process.
