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:
- If your stub shows $60.20 from June 2026 (the announced split), use Enter my own rate; the next packages (January 4 2027 +$2.25, June 7 2027 +$2.25, January 3 2028 +$2.15) aren't split yet.
- 4×10 rules aren't printed, so five 8-hour days only.
- Every night is taken as a swing shift (for a graveyard shift use Enter my own rate with 31.4% added), and on overtime hours the 17.3% isn't multiplied.
- Local 569's working dues aren't published. California's determination prints no dues check-off for Local 569: the app takes 5% of gross wages (the highest working-dues share in the IBEW documents read for this app), after tax; type yours as the dues % on the Settings tab. A vacation fund isn't published either.
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.
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.
