- (e) provides the Customer with a dashboard to view, manage, and export shift records; and
- (f) generates reports summarising verified hours worked.
2.2 Time Verification Only
CRITICAL — REPEATED SCOPE LIMITATION
The Platform is a time verification system only. It records and verifies hours worked. It does NOT:
- (a) calculate wages, salaries, or any form of remuneration;
- (b) calculate or determine award entitlements, including overtime, penalty rates, shift loadings, or allowances;
- (c) calculate or determine superannuation contributions;

All such calculations, determinations, and compliance obligations are the sole responsibility of the Customer and their payroll provider. FLOSMOSIS accepts no liability for any error, omission, or failure in payroll, award compliance, superannuation, or tax arising from the Customer's use of data generated by the Platform.
