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 app starts $66.75 on April 25 2026 (the step date isn't printed). Foreman rates aren't published: use Enter my own rate.
- 4×10 rules aren't printed.
- Whether a weekend holiday moves isn't printed: the app leaves each on its date.
- Shift premiums aren't published, so none is added when you tick Night. If your call posts one, use Enter my own rate with it added.
- Local 25's working dues aren't published. The app takes 5% of gross wages, the highest working-dues share in the IBEW agreements read for this app (Newark Local 1105's 5% working assessment; Louisville's is 4.5% plus 10 cents an hour, Cedar Rapids' 4%, San Antonio's and Amarillo's 3.5%): type yours as the dues % on the Settings tab. Monthly (base) dues are paid to the local, not taken by the app.
Enter your own hours in the Electrician app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of paychecks. Free for a month.
