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 has no time-and-a-half make-up tier. Make-up hours after a weekday shift come out at double time (too high by half your rate an hour), and a Saturday ticked "Make-up day (weather)" comes out at straight time up to 40 h (too low by half your rate an hour). Check a make-up week against your stub.
Enter your own hours in the Ironworker 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.
Between jobs? Open the call-out board: every public union hall call-out in one place, rebuilt every night.
Your agreement isn't here? 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.
