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:

BOLI's dates are the books' publication dates, not the agreement's own step dates (the 2026 step first appears in the July 5 2026 book); and Washington L&I's class list puts some cranes one group off BOLI's (a tower crane of 175 ft or less with under 200 ft of jib is Group 2 there, over 175 ft Group 1): in Southwest Washington pick the group L&I gives your crane.
The app adds 5% for every hour worked that day (on a 10% shift your stub shows twice that) and doesn't multiply it on overtime hours.
Whether a holiday you don't work is paid isn't printed, so the app pays nothing for it.
The app uses the July 2026 amounts for earlier weeks too and doesn't multiply zone pay on overtime; Southwest Washington's zones aren't printed (none added).
With nothing typed, take-home here is higher than your stub until you do.
