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 isn't published, so the foreman and apprentice rates before June 1 2026 are worked out at the agreement's percentages from the $49.76 journeyman rate. June 1 2027 adds $3.24 to the package, to be allocated by the union: then type your new rate under Enter my own rate.
- The app treats every night as a 2nd shift (7½ for 8), so on a 3rd shift your stub pays a little more. A recall without an 8-hour break stays at the overtime rate.
- The 2025 dues amount isn't published; the app uses $1.98 for 2025 weeks too.
- The app adds it for every hour worked, taxable, not multiplied on overtime (the agreement doesn't say it is).
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.
