What's in it for you
DockBook reads your shift the way payroll reads your shift. Same rates, same rules, same math. By Thursday morning your stub will land, and the numbers will already match.
01 · Stat holiday qualification
Tap any stat holiday on the calendar and DockBook reveals its qualifying period: which weeks count, how many shifts you've logged inside that window, and exactly where you sit on the threshold. Tracking toward full pay, partial pay, or nothing at all? You'll know before the holiday lands, not after the cheque arrives.
Want the rule itself? Read how stat holiday pay works, including the counting period and the partial payout when you're short of 15 shifts.
See the calendar02 · Pension projector
Built from your actual logged hours, not a generic estimator. See how close you are to Rule of 90 retirement, with an estimated reach year. Watch your annual pension credit fill up against the qualifying threshold, with the exact dollar shortfall if you're behind. Plus your projected monthly benefit at 65, and the bridge benefit until then.
New to how the WIPP works? Read the plain-English explainer covering credited service rules, the Rule of 90, the Bridge Benefit, and how the PA eats your RRSP room.

03 · Vacation pay estimator
Your entitlement rate (7%, 8%, 10%, wherever your years of credited service put you) applied automatically against your real gross. See current-year accrual, what's already been paid out, and what payable February will look like. Service history stacked back to your hire date.
Run the numbers04 · Benefits coverage alerts
If your hours start trending toward a coverage drop, DockBook flags it early and shows you exactly how many 8 hour shifts close the gap. The kind of math that hides in the back of the Black Book, surfaced in plain English with weeks to act on it.
How does coverage qualify in the first place? Read the benefits coverage explainer on the 300 and 1,200 hour rules and what each tier covers.
