How it's worked out

Everything below is for the employer picked on the Settings tab. Rates step on the agreement's own dates and the calculator uses the column in force for the week you're looking at. Hours are your hours on site, breaks included, the way the agreement's overtime rules count them.

  • Filling in as foreperson: set that day's role under the date. Each day's hours are paid at that day's rate; overtime follows the same day rules.
  • Holidays are built in for your agreement and moved to the day they're observed. Untick Stat to switch one off, or tick it for a day your job observes instead.
  • CPP and EI (2026): CPP 5.95% after a $67.31 weekly exemption until $4,230.45 for the year, then the second CPP at 4% on earnings between $74,600 and $85,000. EI 1.63% until $1,123.07. Quebec: QPP 6.3% to $4,479.30, EI 1.30% to $895.70, QPIP 0.43% to $442.90. The log counts these up week by week, separately for each employer.
  • Income tax uses the 2026 federal and provincial payroll formulas (CRA T4127, July 2026 edition) the way payroll does: the week's pay times 52, union dues taken off first, with each province's extras (BC tax reduction, Ontario surtax and health premium, Quebec abatement). Real cheques usually land within a few dollars. Quebec provincial tax is an approximation of the Revenu Québec formula.
  • Living-out allowance and travel are reimbursements. They're normally tax-free when you file a TD4 with your employer, and they don't get vacation or holiday pay. Tick "This employer pays living-out" on the Settings tab and new days you log will have LOA on.

Not included: travel time and mileage, the 20-and-8 and 14-and-7 cycles, call-outs and show-up pay, the 12-hour turnaround shift paid as a flat 12 h, the camp $20 meal rule, the structural Christmas-on-a-weekend move and the fixed in-town observed days for 2027–28 (tick Stat on the day your employer observes), a general foreperson rate (none is printed: use Custom rate), the pensioner wage for members 71 and over, Local 720 dues and the Dues Supplement (not published: enter them from your stub), rebar glove deductions, and GPMA long-service vacation above 6%. Employer pension, health, apprenticeship, IMPACT and TIF contributions aren't on your cheque; the pension part is shown as a memo line under the cheque and on the Year tab.

Independent tool.

This is an estimate, not payroll advice. Your stub and your steward have the final word.
