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 calculator pays Friday past 4 h at double time like other overtime; if you were paid 1.5×, the difference is half your rate an hour. On a 10-hour shift starting before 8:00 a.m. the first and last scheduled hours are double (800F): not modelled.
- The calculator adds 15% on the straight-time hours of a day ticked Night; on a midnight shift add the other 5%.
Enter your own hours in the Electrician Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. Free for a month.
