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:
- New York City road, heavy, concrete and steel erection (type your deductions). The 2025-26 apprentice schedule prints only the percentages, so the 2025 dollars are worked out and cut to the cent the way the 2026 ones are printed ($38.33, $47.91, $57.49), and the July 1 2027 rates aren't out yet: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- New York City road, heavy, concrete and steel erection (type your deductions). The schedule also prints a shift wage rate for these classes (1.6 times the rate, for example $191.47 for the tower crane) without saying when it applies, so the app adds no shift premium: if your job pays the shift rate, use Enter my own rate.
- New York City road, heavy, concrete and steel erection (type your deductions). The schedule calls them paid holidays without saying for how many hours, so the app pays 8 hours for one on a weekday you don't work and nothing on top of the double time on one you work, and keeps a Saturday holiday on the Friday before and a Sunday one on the Monday after.
