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:
- It also counts hours past 8½ in a day as overtime, and in a week short of 42½ h (say four days and a long Saturday) it gives a Saturday double after 6 h where the agreement keeps time and a half up to 48½ h worked; check such a week against your stub. Weather make-up up to 4 h at straight time within 42½ h: tick Make-up day on the Saturday (the calculator pays the whole make-up day straight up to 42½ h).
- The premium is added but not multiplied here.
Enter your own hours in the Labourer Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. Free for a month.
