As a as a young's as team member that had odd hours, I was getting paid a lower minimum wage because I was a tipped worker.

I'm wondering, is there any DCP tracking compliance software approved by the agency or that maybe we utilize them hearing spreadsheets and like formulas that we've set up to maybe support businesses efforts in maintaining documentation, but is do we have anything that's approved by DCWP to help employers comply and keep track of that compliance?

We are actually working on a project with a number of scheduling software providers to ensure that the rules and processes, they're coding into their systems, that they sell to employers, are are supporting compliance.

Mhmm.

And we we don't endorse any particular software, but what we wanna do is just to make sure that they have the sort of very detailed analytics within their systems that are compliant.

And so we're continuing to be in touch with them to to give them what they need and hear their feedback about what they need from us.
