CLASSIFICATIONS AND FRINGE BENEFITS

Classifications are the position titles of jobs within your company (e.g., Carpenter, Electrician, Laborer, and Crane). Fill in one classification per line. If the workers in a classification are paid more than one hourly rate or different fringe benefits, please list them on separate lines.

• Paid under a CBA -- If the employee is paid under a Collective Bargaining Agreement, select ‘Yes’. If not, select ‘No’.

• Number of Employees is the largest number of employees working in this classification on this project.

• Type of Work Performed -- Explain the type of work that each classification performs (e.g., Laborer: landscape, unskilled, pipe layer; Carpenter: carpentry, drywall; Operator: backhoe, crane).

• Peak Week Ending Date is the week you had the largest number of employees in a classification.

• Hourly Rate is the dollar amount you paid employees per hour working in this classification.

Fringe Benefits are paid in addition to the hourly rate. Report only the costs or contributions incurred by your company, not by the employees. Do not include costs paid by the employer that are required by Federal, State, or local law such as worker's compensation or unemployment insurance. Fill out the information under each fringe benefit that applies.

• Health & Welfare – Medical or hospital care, or insurance to provide such care, life insurance, long- or short-term disability, sickness, or accident insurance.

• Pension (401K, etc.) – Retirement/401K, defined contribution plans (including savings and thrift, deferred profit sharing and money purchase pension), annuity cost, or cost of insurance to provide such a benefit.

• Apprentice Training – Defrayment of the cost of apprenticeship or similar training programs.

• Vacation & Holiday – The payment of compensation for holidays and vacation.

• Additional Fringe – If you are not sure of the category of the fringe benefit, enter the rate information in the column, and specify the fringe type in the "Description of Any Additional Fringe" field at the bottom of the form.

Fringe Benefits can be paid by:

• Percentage of the basic hourly rate - Click the circle next to % of Hourly Rate, then enter the percentage value (based on the basic hourly rate) in the space provided. Do not include the % sign. Include a decimal position only if necessary. For example, if an employee was provided 10% of the hourly rate for pension contribution, enter 10 in the space provided.

• Straight dollar amount - Click the drop-down list box triangle for $ per EMP per and select how often this dollar value was paid: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Enter the dollar value in the blocks provided. Include the decimal position when you fill in the dollar amount. Do not include the dollar sign ($). For example, enter 1.50 for one dollar and fifty cents.
