onWard works out what your paycheque should actually be — before it lands.

Nursing pay is complicated on purpose. Evening and night differentials, weekend
premiums, in-charge and preceptor pay, short-notice bonuses, statutory holidays,
overtime that changes rules depending on how you got there. Most of us find out
whether it was right by squinting at a stub two weeks later.

onWard does that maths for you, on your phone, using the rules from your own
collective agreement. Written by a working RN, for RNs, RPNs and LPNs.

BUILD YOUR SCHEDULE IN SECONDS
Tap a day, pick the shift. Long-press to fine-tune hours, add overtime, flag
in-charge or preceptor duty, or mark a shift you picked up on short notice.

SEE EVERY DOLLAR BEFORE PAYDAY
A full breakdown — regular hours, each premium, overtime, statutory pay,
deductions, and the net figure you'll actually see. Nothing rounded, nothing
hidden.

CATCH A SHORT-PAID CHEQUE
Type the total from your real stub. onWard compares it to what the agreement
says you're owed, and if the numbers don't match it tells you which line to
check. Nurses have found missing shifts, dropped premiums and unpaid overtime
this way.

YOUR CONTRACT, ALREADY IN THERE
Thirteen provincial and territorial nursing agreements — BC, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI,
Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. Every rate
carries a citation, so you can check the source yourself.

OVERTIME, PROPERLY
Daily and weekly overtime, the rolling 225-hour rule, and banked time tracked
shift by shift — bank it or take the cash, your choice, per shift.

KEEP EVERY PAY PERIOD
Save each cheque and revisit or edit any past period exactly as it was.

WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Everything runs on your phone. No basement dead zone, no hospital wifi, no
loading spinner.

ALL ON YOUR PHONE. ALWAYS.
No accounts to create. No tracking. No ads — ever. Your pay data never leaves
your device.

ONWARD PLUS — OPTIONAL, ONE TIME
Everything that calculates your pay is free, and stays free. onWard Plus is a
single $5.99 purchase that adds the rotation calendar, for laying out a repeating
line and seeing months ahead, and team sharing for swapping a schedule with a
colleague. No subscription. Buy it once and it is yours.

Built by a nurse, for nurses and shift workers.
