Brownstone counts your peak headcount nationwide, applies the right tier, works out each worker's safe and sick time from their hours in the city, and gives you the line every pay statement needs.
Opens in this browser with an invented club already in it. No account, no email address, nothing installed. Never holds the reason for an absence, a medical note or a Social Security number.
The problem
NYC's Earned Safe and Sick Time Act gives 40 hours at 5 to 99 employees and 56 at 100 or more - counted nationwide at the year's peak. Every pay statement shows accrued, used and available. Paperwork only after three days out.
Not a reminder. Time is refused past the balance or the yearly limit, and documentation is refused for an absence of three days or fewer. The year's peak headcount cannot be lowered until next year. Nothing is deleted. There is no override.
How it works
The most employees at once this year, nationwide.
Each worker's week in the city - one hour per 30.
Checked against the balance, the limit and the paperwork rule.
What it will never do
Brownstone holds hours and dates, nothing more.
Pricing
For one venue.
Every hour, every pay period.
Monthly, per venue. Your bank statement says Brownstone Software. Your licence key is on your screen as soon as the payment confirms.
Pay by card through Square, on Square’s own checkout page — we never see or store your card number. Or pay with bitcoin through our own bitcoin server. Either way you come back here, type your business name, and your licence key is on the screen — no email, no waiting on us.
Questions
Size is counted nationwide, so you are a 56-hour employer.
Not since the 2023 rules. Time is earned and usable from the first day.
Only for an absence of more than three consecutive workdays, and only if your written policy says so.
No. It is the record and the gates.
The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.
The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
An invented Manhattan club's new door host started three days ago - and is already earning safe and sick time.
