Plantilla

Plantilla explains United States workplace rules to the people they actually apply to, in the language they think in. It is built for hourly, shift, and immigrant workers: warehouse, food service, cleaning, construction, care work, manufacturing, retail, delivery. Everything is in plain language, and the whole app is available in 10 languages: Spanish, English, Haitian Creole, Brazilian Portuguese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and Polish. You can also set a second language and read key screens side by side while you learn English. UNDERSTAND YOUR PAY • Photograph a pay stub and get every line explained: gross, net, Social Security, Medicare, federal and state withholding, garnishments, year to date. • Spot a check that looks wrong next to your recent ones. • Calculate real take-home from your hours, including overtime at 1.5x and double time. • Fill out a W-4 step by step and sign it on the screen. • Scan a W-2 and learn what every box means, what to do with more than one job, and where to get free filing help from the IRS or VITA. • Track tips and overtime, plan direct deposit, and set money aside from each check. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS • Federal protections in plain words: minimum wage, overtime, breaks, OSHA safety, FMLA, ADA, NLRA, retaliation, and pregnancy protections. • Your state's minimum wage, with any raise the state has already announced, plus the rules where you work in all 50 states and DC: final paycheck timing, daily overtime, paid sick leave, and family leave. • Check my pay compares what you were paid with your state's minimum wage and overtime rules, and writes a demand letter you can hand to your employer. • What happens when you quit or are fired: last paycheck deadlines, COBRA, unemployment, 401(k) rollover, and WARN notice. • Local worker support: labor departments, legal aid, and advocacy centers near you. BENEFITS YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHOOSE • Open enrollment explained: medical, dental, vision, HSA and FSA, life, disability, and 401(k) with employer match. • Check FMLA eligibility with three questions and track your 12 weeks. • Track PTO and sick leave, and learn why time off gets denied. • Disability and workers' comp: when each applies and how to file. KEEP YOUR DOCUMENTS SAFE • A document vault encrypted on your phone and locked behind your fingerprint or face. Nothing is uploaded. • Work authorization and I-9 expiration reminders before they lapse. • Photograph any HR letter and get it explained, with a suggested reply you can send. • One place for every deadline, renewal, and due date. ASK AND RECORD • Ask questions about your job and get answers in your language. • Turn a rough note into a polite English message for HR. • Keep an incident log with dates, times, and witnesses, exportable as a PDF for an attorney or agency. KEPT CURRENT Plantilla is updated as worker protections, IRS thresholds, and state labor laws change, with a quarterly digest of what moved. On foldables and tablets, screens open as two pages. FREE AND PREMIUM The most useful features are free, supported by ads. One purchase removes the ads and unlocks everything permanently. No subscription. PRIVACY Your pay stubs, documents, and notes stay on your phone, encrypted, and are not backed up to the cloud. Nothing leaves it unless you use an AI feature (it asks first, and removes Social Security numbers before sending) or export something.
