There are two types
of Employer Report Forms (ERF) to report Employee hours:
-
Forms to
report monthly fringe benefit contributions
(ERF-F026)
(e.g. Health & Welfare, Retirement, Vacation, Dues, etc.)
-
Forms to
report Defined Contribution Fund ( 401(k) ) contributions (ERF-F027)
401(k) contributions are pre-tax elective employee
deferrals. An employee who wants to make deferrals must
present you with an enrollment card showing the amount of
pre-tax money per hour that must be deducted from his pay
and be remitted to the Fund.
If reporting for the
first time, blank paper report forms will be mailed to you for all agreements and job classes
associated with your company. Once we receive a report from
your office, we will automatically generate reports in
subsequent months pre-printed with the names and job classes of
the employees you reported for the previous month. You may then
add names and social security numbers of new employees and/or
delete terminated employees.
Whether or not
you receive monthly report forms, you are still obligated to
make your contributions timely.
All Employer Report
Forms are also available as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and can
be sent on a CD-ROM by mail or as an attachment by email.
You may be signed to
multiple agreements or have members for different Locals to
report. Please review your collective bargaining agreement
carefully. Contact the Local if you have questions regarding
wages or dues. The Local Union is responsible for dispatching
the employees. They will furnish you with a dispatch slip. The
dispatch slip indicates the employee’s job class and information
regarding the fringe benefit deductions. If we believe you have
reported incorrectly, we will send you overage or shortage
notices.
