California Compliance Shield

Don't Let a Paperwork Technicality Destroy Your Business.

AutoOps helps California shops with Dual-Shield compliance: HIC templates for residential jobs over your threshold, and payroll/timecard controls for breaks, rates, and calculations.

Defeating PAGA with “Reasonable Steps”

2024 reforms (AB 2288 / SB 92) give employers a statutory path to cap penalties if they can prove they took all reasonable steps toward compliance — or corrected issues within 60 days of notice.

The risk

Without GPS-verified activity logs and meal/rest acknowledgements, shops become easy targets for bounty-hunter PAGA actions — often with weak paper trails.

The AutoOps shield

Forensic audit trails, GPS-verified timestamps, and forced digital acknowledgements of mandatory breaks create the evidentiary record courts look for.

Bulletproofing Your HIC (BPC §7159)

California BPC §7159 requires precise contract formatting for covered home improvement work. AutoOps enforces your HIC template on residential jobs over the threshold you set. Miss a notice or downpayment rule and you can lose the right to collect.

Statutory-locked templates

Estimates and invoices auto-format to CSLB requirements — including typography rules and mandatory notices.

Hard-coded downpayment limits

Prevents accidental violations of the 10% / $1,000 downpayment cap and captures legally binding e-signatures.

Daily invoicing by status board

Billing status you can defend—paid, billed unpaid, and completed not billed.

As an HR Representative, this application has been very useful in keeping files all in one place. They are easily accessible and I'm able to keep them secured through the settings tab. I've also had the luxury of assisting our Dispatch Department and have found it very easy to get the technicians to their jobs and ensure our customers are happy. Our technicians have a lot of freedom to upload their documents, input notes/photos and keep track of time/mileage. I highly suggest utilizing this application if you're in the Service Industry!

AutoOps has been a game-changer for our field service business. The software is user-friendly and packed with features that have improved our efficiency and productivity. We especially appreciate the mobile app, which allows our technicians to access job information and update records on the go. The customer support team is also very responsive and helpful. Before AutoOps, our scheduling was a chaotic mess. Now, we can easily schedule appointments, optimize routes, and track technician progress in real-time. The automated reminders and notifications have also reduced no-shows and improved customer satisfaction. We've seen a significant increase (roughly 18%) in our revenue since implementing this software. We would highly recommend AutoOps to any company looking to streamline their operations and improve overall efficiency

Payroll, timecards & translation

Dual-Shield’s payroll side covers how California shops actually pay the field—not a single rigid clock.

Standby or scheduled timecards

Work uncontrolled standby when days aren’t fixed shifts—or run timecards from technician/staff schedules when they are.

Hourly or piecemeal

Hourly with OT/DT, flat-rate and field-percentage piecemeal, plus net-revenue allotments when pay follows job results.

Mileage without a fleet

Set a company mileage reimbursement rate and turn field miles into mileage pay—built for shops where techs drive personal vehicles.

Translation in the field

Google Translate integration delivers job instructions in-app so multilingual crews understand compliance protocols where the work happens.

Payroll period preview with allotments and mileage

Pay-period preview: allotments, overtime, and mileage in one audit-ready view.

Live status the office can trust

Color-coded dispatch status keeps the board honest when crews are en route, on site, or wrapping up—so compliance records match what actually happened in the field.
