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:
- The schedule prints only the current year, so the app uses the July 1 2026 rate for earlier weeks too (Davis-Bacon's July 1 2025 figure here is $53.56: for a 2025 week use Enter my own rate). The next rate isn't printed yet: after June 30 2027, type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- No 4×10 is printed, so the app has none; there's no make-up day.
- With nothing typed, nothing comes off for dues, so take-home here is higher than your stub until you do; a vacation or annuity amount taken from your pay can't be typed in.
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.
A number on this page is wrong? Report a wrong rate: it opens the app's feedback box with this page named, no email needed.
Between jobs? Open the job-call board: public union hall job calls from across the US in one place, rebuilt every night.
Your agreement isn't here? Send us your agreement from the app's Settings tab. If the app doesn't have it yet, you get a free year when it's added.
