About this app

Don't just trust your paystub.

DockBook is the shift tracking and pay app built for ILWU-PMA longshore workers up and down the U.S. Pacific Coast: LA and Long Beach, Oakland and the Bay, Seattle and Tacoma, and Portland. It calculates what you're actually owed on every shift, then flags the weeks your check comes up short.

CHECK YOUR PAY, DON'T JUST LOG IT
- Paystub reconciliation flags any week your pay is short of the estimate
- Import your history from My Timebook or an ADP paystub
- History Audit scans your logged shifts for data problems

AUTOMATIC PAY CALCULATIONS
Stop doing mental math. DockBook calculates your earnings from accurate, up-to-date contract rates for every classification:
- Regular hours, overtime, and premiums
- Pay Guarantee Plan (PGP) weekly earnings
- Travel time and meal allowances
- Shift and job differentials

PAY GUARANTEE PLAN
- See your weekly cap, your earnings, and the PGP owed
- Track eligible weeks and your PGP dependency for the year
- A heads-up on actions that can put your guarantee at risk

PENSION AND 401(k)
- PMA pension estimate and years of service
- 401(k) employer contribution tracking by qualifying year
- Enter prior work history from before you had the app

WELFARE ELIGIBILITY
- Track your qualifying hours toward ILWU-PMA welfare coverage
- See where you stand against the annual review
- Worked hours, vacation, and leave counted toward your total

REGISTRATION PROGRESS
- Track your class: Identified Casual, Class B, Class A
- A reference point for where you stand (promotions are decided by the JPLRC, not by hours)

SHIFT TRACKING THAT FILLS ITSELF IN
- Smart autocomplete for locations, vessels, and jobs
- Dispatch slip photo upload
- Copy and paste shifts right on the calendar
- Templates for the shifts you log over and over

VESSEL INTELLIGENCE

HALL AND PEER AVERAGES
Compare your hours to anonymized peer averages and see if you're getting your share of the work.

CLOUD SYNC AND BACKUP
Your data backs up automatically and syncs across all your devices.

Your shift data is private and encrypted. We never sell your information.

BUILT BY A LONGSHOREMAN, FOR LONGSHOREMEN
DockBook was built on the docks by someone tired of guessing whether his pay was right. Every calculation comes from the contract, not a spreadsheet.

SUPPORT
[e-mail]

DockBook is an independent app and is not affiliated with the ILWU, the PMA, or any employer organization. Pay, PGP, welfare, and pension figures are estimates. Eligibility is finally determined by PMA payroll and the ILWU-PMA Plan office. Always verify against your official paystub and plan statements.

What’s new

NEW: Text Size. Settings > Appearance > Text size makes the whole app bigger and easier to read. Free for everyone.

FIXED: Copying a shift onto another day now re-prices the base rate for that day. A Sunday shift pasted onto a Monday gets Monday's rate, so your totals stay accurate.
