OraKeep multiple jobs organized
Give each job its own rates, currency, pay period and shift records. Calculate each employer’s gross estimate independently before combining anything for a personal overview.

Keep the rules with the job
A shared calendar does not mean a shared payroll. One job may pay weekly, another monthly; rates can change on different dates. Keep the employer or job label, currency, base rate, effective date and relevant agreement together.
Do not automatically combine hours from different employers to trigger an overtime threshold. Whether and how hours must be considered together is a separate rules question that this general guide does not answer.
Two jobs, two estimates
On a narrow screen, scroll the table horizontally to see all columns.
| Job | Paid hours | Base rate | Gross estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Café | 12.5h | €15/h | €187.50 |
| Demo Shop | 9h | €17/h | €153.00 |
| Personal overview | 21.5h | Separate rates | €340.50 |
The total is useful for an overview of these chosen shifts. It is not a combined payslip, and the two employers may pay those earnings on different dates. Taxes, premiums and deductions are not included.
Check overlaps and travel
If one job ends at 17:00 and another starts at 16:30, inspect the records. A duplicate, incorrect date or changed shift may explain the overlap. Do not simply count the same half hour twice without understanding it.
Travel between jobs is also distinct from a shift’s worked hours. Keep it separate unless the rules for the relevant work say otherwise. A personal calendar can show the transition without making it paid work automatically.
Keep currencies distinct
€100 plus £100 is not €200. Total each currency separately. If you want a converted personal overview, label the exchange rate, date, direction and any fees or rounding used; retain the original earnings amounts.
A converted display is not proof of the amount payroll or a bank will pay. Check each employer’s original-currency statement and the actual conversion transaction separately.
Reconcile one employer at a time
Filter by the employer’s exact period dates, total its paid hours, then apply its rate rules. Repeat independently for the other job. Use a separate worksheet or calculator run for each.
Estimate a single shift or total a set of shifts. When sharing a report, include only the job and period needed. Another employer generally does not need an unrelated job’s wage details to answer a specific hours question.
Common questions
Can I add all hours together for overtime?
Do not assume that. The rules can depend on the employment relationship and jurisdiction. Keep the employers’ records separate and obtain applicable guidance.
Can I add earnings in different currencies?
Only after a clearly labeled conversion for a defined purpose. Preserve the original-currency amounts and do not present the converted total as a formal payslip.
What if pay periods do not match?
Compare each payslip to its own period. A personal calendar-month overview can be useful, but label its dates so it is not confused with either employer’s statement.
Results are estimates before tax. Rules and actual pay vary with your contract, location, payroll and deductions. About these estimates.
