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:
- Washington's filing shows the 2026 rate from September 2 2026, Oregon's from July 5 2026 (the agreement's own date, probably June 1, isn't printed); the app uses July 5 for both states. Oregon's April 5 2026 amendment printed Group 6 at $55.63, below both union rates; the app leaves it out. Oregon warns that its apprentice percentages may differ from the committee's standards. The 2027 rates aren't known: type your new rate under Enter my own rate when they come.
- On a 4×10 the app pays a worked Friday at time and a half up to 12 hours; on a make-up Saturday it pays every hour past 10 at time and a half (hours past 12 should be double); tide-work hours: enter them as overtime by logging them on a Saturday-rate day or use Enter my own rate. Oregon prints no overtime text for the agreement; it's the same agreement, so the app uses Washington's code for both states.
- No other shift premium is published, so the app adds nothing for night work; leave Night off.
- Whether a holiday not worked is paid isn't printed, so the app pays nothing for it.
- Whether zone pay is multiplied on overtime isn't printed, so the app adds it for every hour worked, not multiplied.
- 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.
