Fact Check: Time Card Calculator with Lunch

What the review found
Summary
We checked the time card calculator's visible rounding claims, overtime model, California warning, gross-pay explanation, recordkeeping-related methodology, and related-resource links. All checked claims are marked Verified.
This is a calculation tool, not a state-law engine. It computes daily/weekly time card totals, optional payroll rounding, a single overtime rule, and gross pay. State-stacked overtime, California meal-break premium pay, wage-claim damages, and full rounding-policy legality are intentionally handled by related articles or tools.
Verification result: the checked tool claims are verified for publication.
