WAC - we change hourly paid workers' lives
WAC app enables workers from all sectors to track their hours, add their rota and get live payslip estimates, including deductions such as tax. We’ve helped thousands of hourly-paid workers spot underpayments which would have been missed without tracking their hours. With over 5,000 five star reviews on the App store and Google Play Store and multiple case studies of gross underpayment by employers nationwide.
Who is George?
Georgina Fairhall is a female founder in tech, an award-winning entrepreneur, and a public speaker who gave up a future career in law to support the lowest-paid employees across the country. With first-hand experience working in the hospitality industry, to support herself through law school, she would always encounter a serious problem – she wasn’t getting paid correctly.
In 2018, Fairhall founded WAC and it has since become the go-to platform for hourly-paid workers to take control of their work life with workers claiming back thousands of pounds worth of lost wages using the app.
