What's in it for you
Every rate, every guarantee, every penalty cargo classification. DockBook reads your shift the way payroll reads your shift. Same rates, same rules, same math. When your stub lands, the numbers already match.
01 · Pay Guarantee Plan
Track your weekly earnings against the contractual floor. See your YTD income dependency, eligible weeks, total PGP owed, and a 4-week trend showing exactly which weeks cleared the guarantee and which fell short. No more discovering you missed eligibility months after the window closed.
How PGP works02 · Vacation tier matrix
Vacation pay is tier-based: 800+ hours earns 1 week, 1,300+ earns 2, and so on up the ladder. DockBook tracks your prior-year hours against the matrix so you know exactly which tier you hit, what payout you'll see, and when. Current-year accrual updates with every shift you log.

03 · ILWU-PMA Pension
Project your monthly pension from your real logged hours. Watch every eligibility gate light up as you cross it: 5-year vesting, normal retirement at 65, early retirement at 55+ with 25 years of service, disability retirement, the 25-year bridge benefit, and the early-incentive window at 59.5+. Each year's hours stamped FULL, PARTIAL, or NO CREDIT against the qualifying threshold.
Run your numbers04 · Welfare Plan tracker
DockBook tracks your worked hours against the Major Port 400 hour eligibility threshold for the current review period. If you're projected to fall short, you'll see it weeks before the cutoff, with the exact shortfall and what's covered under the current plan year laid out beside it.
