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:
- Field dues were $1.60 before May 31 2026 and are $1.80 from Apr 30 2028). Apprentices also have $1.00 an hour after tax taken for the Apprenticeship Savings Plan (4.08), not modelled.
Enter your own hours in the Millwright Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. Free for a month.
