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 night shift's 7-for-8 isn't separate, so enter 7½ h for a full night shift and check your stub.
- The calculator uses New Year's, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Boxing Day, a weekend one moved to the next work day; tick Holiday on any other day your agreement names (Islander Day, Remembrance Day, Truth and Reconciliation Day) and Not a holiday on one it doesn't.
Enter your own hours in the Carpenter Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. 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.
