What's missing
Where the app can't follow a rule to the letter yet, its notes say so, and say how to allow for it when you enter your hours. From this page's agreements:
- Nevada prints no apprentice rates, so apprentices aren't built in (use Enter my own rate), and the next step isn't known: after June 30 2027 type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- Labor Day worked is triple time, but the app pays double time, so a worked Labor Day shows less than your stub; the schedule says overtime is paid on the 'total taxable wage', which seems to include a vacation amount it doesn't print, so the app figures overtime on the wage alone and your stub may be a little higher.
- The app treats every night as a 2nd shift, so a 7-hour 3rd shift gets 7.47 hours' pay instead of 8.
- The schedule doesn't say whether a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday moves, so the app leaves it on its date (Independence Day 2026 on Saturday July 4), and whether a holiday not worked is paid isn't printed, so the app pays nothing for it.
- The 8-hour minimum isn't worked out.
- With nothing typed, nothing comes off for dues, so take-home here is higher than your stub until you do.
Enter your own hours in the Carpenter app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of paychecks. Free for a month.
