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:
- 17.5% on every night-flagged hour, not multiplied on overtime. Vacation pay 7% and holiday pay 5%, "amount to be shown on pay stub" (Schedule B), shown as two lines.
Enter your own hours in the Pipefitter Cheque app: it applies these rates, the overtime and holiday rules, dues and tax, and keeps a year of cheques. Free for a month.
