Everything you logged is kept and comes back the moment a key is activated. One license opens everything: the paycheck calculator, hours log, year log, calendar, trade info and every employer, $4.99 a year. One key works on up to three phones.

Every day you logged is kept. A license opens the year log, the calendar, the by-employer and by-month totals and every employer, along with everything else. $4.99 a year, one key for up to three phones.

Log your hours day by day and see every paycheck: straight time, time and a half, double time, vacation that goes to a fund, dues and assessments, Social Security, Medicare, and federal and state income tax estimates. The year view adds it all up. Pick your state and agreement here: Local 169's Michigan agreement, the Great Lakes lodges (27, 83, 107, 374, 647, 744), Local 5's upstate New York zones and Local 237 in Connecticut, TVA's project agreements, and the Southeast Area lodges, whose 2026 rate is probable, so check it against your stub. The week shown first is an example; change any box.
These come from the TD1 forms you filled in for this employer. Most people claim the basic amounts. Your pay stub may list them as "TD1 claim" or "claim code".
From the W-4 you gave this employer, and your state's withholding form. With no W-4 on file, payroll withholds as single with nothing else claimed.
Step 4b is where the new deduction for overtime goes if you claim it on your W-4: only the half-time part of hours over 40 a week counts, not daily overtime or the extra half of double time.
Only if your stub shows one. Enter a percentage of pay or a flat amount a week, for example NYC, Yonkers, a Pennsylvania earned income tax, an Ohio or Michigan city, Kansas City or St. Louis, or a Kentucky occupational tax.
Pass it on, get a free month. Every friend who buys a license through your code or link adds a free month to yours, up to a year. They point their phone camera at this code and tap the link that pops up, or you send them the link:
On the home screen it opens full screen, works without signal, and your log stays on the phone and is never uploaded.
One license, $4.99 a year, opens everything: the paycheck calculator, hours log, year log, calendar, trade info and every employer. Your key is tied to your email address and works on up to three of your own phones.
Your log is saved on this phone or browser only. Copy a backup now and then and keep it in your notes or email it to yourself. Paste it back here to restore, or to move to a new phone.
A number that doesn't match your stub, a rule we got wrong, something you'd like added. Say which agreement and classification. Email is optional; leave it if you'd like a reply.
Agreement missing from the app, or newer than the one in here? Send the PDF or Word file, or photos of the wage pages. It's only used to add the agreement to the app, then deleted. If the app doesn't have that agreement yet, you get a free year when it's added.
Trade info comes with the license, along with everything else.
ASME B16.5 flanges. Stud lengths are the standard's: the raised face is 1/16" on Class 150 and 300 and 1/4" on Class 600 and up. The flat gasket is a ring gasket to ASME B16.21 (spiral wound gaskets are sized differently). The wrench is the heavy-hex nut across the flats. The drawing and the job's bolting procedure come first.
Flanges are two-holed: bolt 1 sits just clockwise of the top, level with the last bolt. Going clockwise from 1, mark the bolts in this order:
Then tighten in number order: 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Each odd and even pair sits straight across the flange. With two wrenches, do 1 and 2 together, then 3 and 4. Bring it up in passes; the job's procedure sets how many. This is the cross pattern in ASME PCC-1.
B7 studs (ASTM A193) with heavy-hex nuts, torqued to load the stud to half its yield strength, with C5A or a dope like it on the threads and nut faces (friction 0.10). B7 is rated lower above 4", so a 4 1/4" stud takes less torque than a 4". These are guidelines only: the manufacturer's spec or your engineering department comes first.
Enerpac RSL2 to RSL30 (hex or square drive; current model names in brackets) and S1500X to S11000X (square drive). HYTORC Stealth (hex) and Avanti, MXT and ICE (square drive). Type a torque to get the pump pressure, or a pressure to get the torque. Between the chart's rows it's worked out in a straight line. These are the makers' standard charts (Enerpac's instruction sheets, HYTORC's conversion charts); your wrench's own calibration certificate comes first.
L is one sling (or one side of the basket), from the hook to where it meets the load. S is straight across between where the two sides meet the load. Use the same units for both (feet or inches). Keep the slings above 30°; 60° is best. This assumes the hook is over the center of gravity. Each sling's tag rating for its hitch has to cover the pull.
Melloy wire rope slings (PCL's rigging card): improved plow steel, IWRC (6x19 up to 1 1/8", 6x36 from 1 1/4"), eyes and thimbles in both ends, Flemish spliced eyes with mechanical sleeves, safety factor 5. Basket is both legs straight up; a double basket is twice that; for an angle, use Sling tension. Choker ratings need a choke angle of 120° or more. Extra improved plow steel (EIPS) slings rate about 15% higher; the tag tells you which you have. Never rig below 30° from horizontal. Fibre-core rope rates lower. The tag on the sling comes first.
A ply is a layer of webbing. 2-ply is the everyday sling; 1-ply is a lighter version rated about half, so check which you have: the tag says, and on many makers' part numbers EE1 means 1 ply and EE2 means 2 ply. Lift-All Webmaster 1600 nylon eye-and-eye slings (1,600 lb per inch per ply; polyester in this line rates the same). Keep nylon away from acids and bleach, and don't use it above 90 °C (194 °F). Pad sharp edges. The tag on the sling comes first.
Melloy card: forged alloy steel shackles, straight-line pull. Pulled from the side a shackle holds less: 70% of its rating at 45° and 50% at 90° (Crosby). Never replace a shackle pin with a bolt; the load will bend it. These run about 10% under Crosby's current ratings. The rating stamped on the shackle comes first.
Never saddle a dead horse: every U-bolt goes on the dead end, and don't stagger the clips. Use drop-forged clips, not cast. Torque is for clean, dry threads. Add one clip if the rope turns over a sheave instead of a thimble, and one for Seale-type rope 1" and up. Crosby's table (G-450). It matches the Melloy card except that it calls for one more clip at 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". Follow the clip maker's instructions.
1 in = 25.4 mm exactly. 1 ft-lb = 1.3558 N·m. 1 psi = 6.8948 kPa. 1 lb = 0.45359 kg. 1 US gal = 3.7854 L, 1 Imperial gal = 4.5461 L. 1 kip = 4.4482 kN.
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 the hours you're paid for, not counting an unpaid lunch.
Not included yet: other US lodges (more are coming), the National Maintenance Agreement and the other national agreements, minimum pay and reporting time (enter the hours you're paid), withholding on bonuses and other supplemental pay, work in two states in one week, reciprocity between states, and city, county or school district income tax unless you add it on the Settings tab (Indiana's county tax is in the state settings). Where a rule can't be followed exactly yet, the agreement's notes above say so under Approximation. Employer pension, annuity and health and welfare contributions aren't on your paycheck; where the pension rate is published, it's shown as a memo line under the paycheck and on the Year tab.
Yours missing? Send it from the Settings tab (Send us your agreement). If the app doesn't have it yet, you get a free year when it's added.
