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 agreement's overtime rules aren't public. The app takes the cautious route: every hour past 8 Monday to Friday and every Saturday, Sunday and holiday hour at time and a half, never double time; your stub may pay double time for some of these.
- The holiday list isn't published, so the app marks none. Tick Holiday on a day your stub pays as one: the app pays it at time and a half.
- With nothing typed, nothing comes off for dues, so take-home here is higher than your stub until you do.
Enter your own hours in the Pile Driver 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.
