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:
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). The foreman and general foreman premiums are known only from the September 2026 card, so the app adds them to the earlier journeyman rates too, rounded to the cent; the agreement ends June 30 2027 and the next rates aren't known, so the app keeps the September 2026 rates after that: then use Enter my own rate.
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). The app uses the building rule for every Saturday.
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). The app treats every night as a 2nd shift, so a 7-hour 3rd shift gets 7.47 hours' pay instead of 8 and its overtime starts after 7½ hours, not 7.
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). Every hour on a ticked union day is time and a half (the page gives the rate for the first 8).
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). The app uses $3.40 and $2.97 for every week (before July 1 2026 they were $3.33 and $2.84) and for every class; a 1st-period apprentice gets no vacation, so for one the app adds and takes back $3.40 an hour that isn't really there, and the tax shown is a little high.
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). The North Coast States council also files $2.52 an hour of working dues; whether that's part of the $2.97 work fee isn't known, and the app takes only the work fee, which is all the card lists.
- Northern California, Area 1 (Bay Area). How they're taxed isn't stated, so the app treats the travel pay as taxable wages and the subsistence, which the agreement calls a reimbursement, not a wage, as a tax-free per diem (switch it on and tick the days).
- Northern California, Area 2 (Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz). The foreman and general foreman premiums are known only from the September 2026 card, so the app adds them to the earlier journeyman rates too, rounded to the cent; the agreement ends June 30 2027 and the next rates aren't known, so the app keeps the September 2026 rates after that: then use Enter my own rate.
