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:
- Local 60's overtime rules aren't published. The app uses the pattern of the IBEW inside agreements that publish theirs (Newark 1105, Cedar Rapids 405, Austin 520, Amarillo 602): every hour past 8 Monday to Friday and every Saturday hour at time and a half, with no step to double time on a weekday; Sundays and holidays double time. Five 8-hour days only; enter the hours you're paid for, not an unpaid lunch. Data-center and plant calls often pay all overtime at double time: check your call and your stub.
- The holiday list isn't published, so the app marks the six holidays every IBEW inside agreement read for this app has: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, each on its own date (one on a weekend doesn't move), unpaid unless worked and double time when worked. Tick Holiday on any other day your job observes.
- 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. Some calls are night work (5 elevens, 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.) with no premium posted.
- Whether it's reported as wages isn't printed; the app treats it as taxable pay (4% of the rate for every hour paid, overtime counted once) that's sent to the account after tax, so the tax on it shows on your paycheck.
- The 3.5% is taken on your wages without the vacation money.
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.
