Payroll Audit Program

The Trustees have hired an accounting firm to conduct periodic audits of the contributions of the employers.  These audits follow agreed upon procedures that test whether contributions have been made on behalf of all covered employees in the correct amounts.  The firm periodically reports the results of its audits in writing, and these reports are reviewed by the Joint Delinquency Committee.  If contributions are due, the employer will be assessed liquidated damages and will be required to pay the cost of the audit.  Whenever appropriate, collection procedures will be instituted against the employer.  Audits may be required of any employer at any time at the discretion on the Joint Delinquency Committee.
