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 2025 sheet applies from the first full payroll period on or after July 1 2025, and the app changes the rate on July 1 itself; after June 30 2027, type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- Overtime that runs into the regular hours stays at the overtime rate after 8 continuous overtime hours; the app doesn't work that out.
- The app pays 10% on every night, on its straight-time hours only, so a 3rd shift comes out 5% short.
- A foreman on a job of 5 days or more is guaranteed 8 hours a day and 40 a week at straight time, holidays included; the app doesn't add it, so enter the hours you're paid.
Enter your own hours in the Ironworker app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of paychecks. Free for a month.
Your agreement isn't here, or a number is wrong? 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.
