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:
- NW Ohio Zone I (Lucas, Wood, Davis-Besse, Lima sites). The sheet's rates start with the first full pay period in May 2026; the app starts them on May 1 2026, and the 2025 sheet isn't online, so weeks before that use the 2026 rates too.
- NW Ohio Zone I (Lucas, Wood, Davis-Besse, Lima sites). The app keeps the 2026 rates until a new sheet is out: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- NW Ohio Zone I (Lucas, Wood, Davis-Besse, Lima sites). The app lets a make-up day run at straight time up to 40 hours even in a week with a holiday.
- NW Ohio Zone I (Lucas, Wood, Davis-Besse, Lima sites). The agreement moves only Sunday holidays, so one on a Saturday stays on its date (the Fourth of July 2026 on Saturday July 4).
- NW Ohio Zone I (Lucas, Wood, Davis-Besse, Lima sites). The sheet counts the per-hour deductions on hours paid; the app counts hours worked (a shift's paid, not worked hour isn't counted), and it takes the Building Trades Council's $0.11 everywhere in the zone, so at the Lima sites or on work that isn't a building project it takes $0.11 an hour too much.
- NW Ohio Zone II (Defiance, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Ottawa, Williams, Crawford, Paulding, Sandusky, Seneca, Wyandot). The sheet's rates start with the first full pay period in May 2026; the app starts them on May 1 2026, and the 2025 sheet isn't online, so weeks before that use the 2026 rates too.
