Instructions

Employer Name and Address, Contact Information – Self-explanatory. The name and contact information of the person most familiar with the information provided on this form are requested in the event that clarificatuion or additional information is needed.

Classification (Job Title) – List the maintenance classification(s) or job title(s). Attach a copy of the job description, or on separate paper briefly describe the duties, experience required, and amount of supervision received or exercised for each job classification.

No. Employed in this Classification – List the number of workers employed in each classification.

Average Hours of Work/Week – For each classification group, indicate the typical total duty hours per week.

Basic Hourly Wage Rate – List the basic hourly wage rate(s) paid for each classification. Please list the actual hourly rate(s) paid; do not list pay ranges or averages. Workers that are employed in the same work classification but which are paid different basic wage rates or fringe benefits must be listed separately by wage rate. See example, below.

Fringe Benefits – List the rate(s) of contributions for each classification for the following types of fringe benefits: vacation (including paid holidays, personal days); health and welfare (sick pay, health and/or life insurance); pension (retirement/annuity plans); and apprenticeship/training (fees regularly paid by the employer to established training programs). Include only employer contributions. Employer payments which are mandated by Federal, state or local law (e.g., Social Security, State disability or unemployment insurance) are not considered fringe benefits. Indicate hourly rates of contributions, if available; convert fringe benefits to hourly rates as shown in the example, below. If the amount of fringe benefit contributions varies among workers in the same classification, separate such workers by fringe benefit rates.

Example: A survey respondent employs nine maintenance workers. Seven workers are Maintenance Mechanics, and two workers are Maintenance Technicians. Two (2) Maintenance Mechanics are paid $17.50/hour, three (3) are paid $15.00/hour, and the last 2 are paid $12.50/hour. Both Maintenance Technicians are paid $10.00/hour. All employees work 40 hours per week and all employees receive 15 vacation days and 10 paid holidays plus Health and Welfare and Pension contributions at $1.25/hour and $.75/hour, respectively. Vacation and holidays are converted to hourly rates by annualizing the benefit’s dollar value and dividing by 2080 hours, then added to the other hourly fringe benefits, e.g., for Maintenance Mechanics paid $17.50/hour: 25 paid days off x 8 hours/day = 200 hours x $17.50/hour = $3,500 per year ÷ 2080 hours/year = $1.68 + $2.00 (H & W + Pen) = $3.68/hour fringe benefits. The survey form (HUD-4751) should show 3 groups of Maintenance Mechanics (separating by wage rates) and one group of Maintenance Technicians:

Classification	No. Employed in this Classification	Average No. of Hours Worked/Week	Hourly Wage Rates
			Basic Wage	Fringe Benefits
Maintenance Mechanic	2	40	$17.50	$3.68
Maintenance Mechanic	3	40	$15.00	$3.44
Maintenance Mechanic	2	40	$12.50	$3.20
Maintenance Worker	2	40	$10.00	$2.96
