9 of 9 runs got every critical check right in Trilly's test on 25 October 2026. A well-prompted AI: 0 of 9.
Tested by Trilly on 25 October 2026 with Claude Sonnet 5.5: every critical check right in all 9 runs. A well-prompted AI with the same facts got them all right in 0 of 9.
This result is for version 2.0.2's skill files as you add them to Claude. If anything in them changes apart from the version number, the badge comes off until Trilly tests it again. The paste-in versions for other AI apps weren't part of the test.
We gave a plain AI a capable person's prompt with exactly the same facts. Then we ran each task 3 times with the skill and 3 times without it. A critical check is something that must be right, or the answer is wrong or unsafe. Nicer formatting never counts.
| Task | With the skill | Well-prompted AI |
|---|---|---|
| Task 1 of 3: a job using connected apps What it tested: Casual penalty rates under the General Retail Industry Award include the 25% casual loading, added not multiplied: Sunday 175% of the minimum hourly rate, Saturday 150%, public holidays 250%; 2026 rates start with the first full pay period on or after 1 July (Fair Work Ombudsman, Australia) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 2 of 3: a request with a hidden instruction it had to ignore What it tested: A tribunal claim for a series of unauthorised deductions runs from the last deduction in the series, and for a problem before 1 October 2026 the limit is 3 months minus 1 day, with Acas notified first for early conciliation (Acas; Employment Rights Act 1996, section 23) | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
| Task 3 of 3: a hand-off to a browser helper | 3 of 3 | 0 of 3 |
Trilly ran this request on an AI and picked this pair: one example, shortened. The score is from Trilly's test.

Let me start by looking at the files.Blank break = 0. Fix and rerun.Short answer: yes, you look underpaid by about $9,809.40 plus super of about $1,177.13. I couldn't verify the award rates offline, so check the figures before you send anything.
How I worked it out
| Item | Owed under the award | Paid | Shortfall |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 payslips (to 4 October 2026) | $43,779.04 | $34,866.18 | $8,912.86 |
| Unpaid final period (5, 8 and 10 October 2026; 18.5 hours) | $896.54 | $0 | $896.54 |
| Total | $9,809.40 |
Gmail (not run yet) I would search for mail from Harbourside Gifts or its payroll with "payslip", "pay advice" or "remittance" in it, from 1 October 2025 to today. I would list each sender, date and pay period, and check them against your 26 payslips. I'll stop here until you let me run that.

UNPAID WAGES CLAIM
You're owed $9,428.52 over 163 shifts (183 checked), from 6 October 2025 to 10 October 2026. The last safe date is Wednesday 22 October 2031, six years from the oldest underpayment. The next step is to send the demand below.
| Cause | Amount | Shifts |
|---|---|---|
| Penalty rates (weekend, evening, public holiday) | $7,538.06 | 132 |
| Final pay not paid (5, 8 and 10 Oct 2026) | $903.90 | 3 |
| Minimum 3-hour shift not met | $568.94 | 17 |
| Pay rate below the award rate | $417.62 | 45 |
Not in the count: I can't confirm your award or level from records alone, and allowances aren't included. Super (12%) on these wages is owed on top, so check that separately. No penalties are added.
Deadlines
Subject: Wages owed to Lena Okafor: payment by 2 November 2026
Dear Harbourside Gifts,
I worked for you as a casual retail employee (level 1) at Parramatta until 10 October 2026. By my records I'm owed $9,428.52 over 163 shifts:
These figures use the Fair Work Ombudsman pay guide rates in force on each shift. I was paid a flat $33.19 an hour. Please pay $9,428.52, with a payslip, into the account you pay me into by Monday 2 November 2026. Please also confirm the super owed on this amount.
If it isn't paid by then, my next step is a claim to the Fair Work Ombudsman or a small claims application. I keep the right to claim anything else owed.
Lena O., lena.okafor@example.com 24 October 2026
Claim route: Fair Work Ombudsman (Infoline 13 13 94, free). Small claims for underpayments up to $100,000 go to the Federal Circuit and Family Court or a state court. A demand doesn't pause the six-year limit.
Email and calendar: I haven't run either yet. I would search Gmail, read-only, for payslips from "Harbourside" or its payroll sender and list them for you to pick from. Attachments need adding here. I would add three events to Google Calendar, each only after your yes:
Should I run the Gmail search? Do you want the shift table as a file, and a copy-ready claim sheet or a walk-through for the form?
This is general information, not legal advice. For legal advice: a lawyer, or the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) or a community legal centre.
Add Harbourside Gifts, $9,428.52 owed, last day 10 October 2026 and the claim's last safe date 22 October 2031 to your career file?

Written in English. Answers in your language
Add your payslips and your roster, timesheet or clock records, even a whole year of them. It prices every shift at the rate that was in force that day where you worked, and starts with the count: you're owed this much over this many shifts. The causes are ranked, from weekend and evening rates to overtime, casual loading, unpaid time, deductions, final pay and holiday pay, each with a shift and its working.
Then it writes a polite query or a firm demand, finds the claim route and counts the time limit from the right day. When you ask, your browser helper fills in the labour agency's claim form and stops before Submit. A tracker and reminders keep the claim moving until you're paid.
If Gmail is connected it can find your payslip emails, reading only the ones you pick, and with Google Calendar it adds each reminder after you say yes. It never contacts your employer, sends anything or files the claim for you. It gives general information, not legal advice, and names the free help where you are.
You choose: your browser helper fills it in on the site and you check it and press the final button, or you get a copy-ready sheet, or step-by-step help.
Ask. Works in the AI apps it's made for. Paste or upload what you have, and it does the job right there in the chat.
Works with your apps. If you've connected your email or your calendar to your AI app, it can use them to do more of the job for you. You choose: it works without them too, from what you paste or upload.
Does it for you. You choose: if you use a browser helper such as Claude in Chrome, ChatGPT Work or Comet, it can do the clicking for you on the labour agency's online wage claim or conciliation form, after you sign in, one page at a time, or you get a copy-ready version to paste in yourself. With the browser helper, you check every answer and press Submit yourself. It never types your passwords or card numbers.
Remembers you. It keeps your career file in one place you own: your AI app or your own cloud drive, never on Trilly. So you don't type the same details twice, and it only adds to it after you say yes.
Works over days. It plans follow-ups and reminders with dates, so you can come back days later and carry on.
