Free tool — no signup
Read Your Run: see your split shift drawn to scale.
Type in your sign-on, your piece ends, and your sign-off. The tool draws the run on a timeline and separates the three numbers people mix up: spread time, working time, and the hours your base pay is built from. Overnight runs included.

Who makes this
