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:
- Commercial and institutional. On a 5×8 the calculator pays hours 9 and 10 at time and a half; the agreement pays them straight until the week passes 40. A Saturday make-up day for weather is straight time (not modelled; the make-up option here is the off weekday). Over 2 h of overtime a meal and a paid 20-minute break (not added).
Enter your own hours in the Insulator Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. Free for a month.
Your agreement isn't here, or a number is wrong? Send us your agreement from the app's Settings tab. If the app doesn't have it yet, you get a free year when it's added.
