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:
- Industrial carpenters (MNECA, Moncton region). 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 (New Brunswick Day, Family Day, Remembrance Day) and Not a holiday on one it doesn't.
- Industrial scaffolders (MNECA, Moncton region). 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 (New Brunswick Day, Family Day, Remembrance Day) and Not a holiday on one it doesn't.
- Commercial carpenters (MNECA, Moncton region). The weekday overtime rate isn't in our data yet, so weekday overtime is time and a half too, and the extra day's pay for Labour Day worked isn't added (add it from your stub). An 8-h day Monday to Friday (5×8) is assumed.
