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:
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). Art. XXIII has no millwright apprentice scale of its own, so the app uses the agreement-wide percentages, and the apprentice dollars are the journeyman rate times the percentage, rounded to the cent (a millwright wage sheet would confirm them).
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). The 2027 split isn't published, so the app keeps the 2026 rates after June 1 2027: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). On a 2nd or 3rd shift every hour past 7 is double time, but the app pays the first 2 of them at time and a half (the day-shift rule), and working through the lunch period (double time) isn't added.
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). The agreement doesn't say whether a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday moves, so the app leaves it on its date (the Fourth of July 2026 on Saturday July 4, Christmas 2027 on Saturday December 25); if your job takes the Friday or Monday off instead, tick Holiday on that day.
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). The app uses $3.03 for weeks before June 1 2026 too; because it's added and then taken back, only the tax on the 42-cent difference changes (a few cents a week).
- Chicago: Cook, Lake and DuPage (MARBA). The app figures the 4% on your wages without the vacation savings; if your stub figures it on both, your dues are about 12 cents an hour higher.
- Central Illinois building, Zone 1 (Peoria area). The general foreman's dollars are worked out from the $4.25 premium, and this zone's addendum in our source prints no apprentice dollars, so the app uses Zone 2's (the same journeyman rate and percentages).
- Central Illinois building, Zone 1 (Peoria area). The app keeps the 2026 rates after May 1 2027 until the 2027 addendum is out: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- Central Illinois building, Zone 1 (Peoria area). When Friday is worked on top of four 10s, Saturday becomes double time; the app keeps Saturday at time and a half. The app lets a make-up day run at straight time up to 40 hours even in a week with a holiday (the agreement says 'to reach 40 hours').
- Central Illinois building, Zone 1 (Peoria area). The app treats every night as an evening shift, so a 7-hour night shift gets 7.47 hours' pay instead of 8; a special shift (+$3.00 an hour) isn't added: use Enter my own rate with the $3.00 added.
- Central Illinois building, Zone 1 (Peoria area). The app uses the 2026 Regional Council check-off for earlier weeks too (it was $1.56 for a journeyman, $0.94 and $1.33 for apprentices), and the journeyman's amount for foremen and general foremen.
- Central Illinois building, Zone 2 (Springfield, Champaign, Decatur). The general foreman's dollars are worked out from the $4.25 premium.
- Central Illinois building, Zone 2 (Springfield, Champaign, Decatur). The app keeps the 2026 rates after May 1 2027 until the 2027 addendum is out: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.

- Central Illinois building, Zone 2 (Springfield, Champaign, Decatur). The app treats every night as an evening shift, so a 7-hour night shift gets 7.47 hours' pay instead of 8; a special shift (+$3.00 an hour) isn't added: use Enter my own rate with the $3.00 added.

- Central Illinois building, Zone 3 (Bloomington area). The general foreman's dollars are worked out from the $4.25 premium, and this zone's addendum in our source prints no apprentice dollars, so the app uses Zone 2's (the same journeyman rate and percentages).

The app treats every night as a 2nd shift, so a 7-hour 3rd shift gets 7.47 hours' pay instead of 8; a shift starting before 6:00 a.m. on Monday or after a holiday is double time, and a special shift is $2.00 an hour more: the app adds neither (use Enter my own rate).
