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 (Annexe B) and institutional-commercial (Annexe C). The calculator uses 30 h, so a holiday week shows 2 h more overtime than your stub. Manoeuvres en maçonnerie: 42½ h with 8½- or 10½-h days (13 e). Working with a trade on the trade's hours (13 d) or on asbestos removal (8-h days, 20.03 14): pick 5×8 or 4×10. "La première heure supplémentaire de la semaine entraine une majoration du taux de salaire de 50 %, alors que la majoration du taux de salaire passe à 100 % à compter de la deuxième heure" (21.02 1 a): the first overtime hour of the week is time and a half (spread over two days if the first day has less than an hour), every other overtime hour, Saturday included, is double. Sunday and holidays are double from the first hour (21.02 1 b).
