FRINGE BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS Clause Samples
The Fringe Benefit Contributions clause requires an employer to provide additional compensation or benefits to employees beyond their regular wages, typically in the form of health insurance, retirement plans, or other welfare benefits. This clause outlines the types of benefits covered, the method and frequency of contributions, and the parties responsible for making these payments, often referencing specific funds or plans. Its core function is to ensure that employees receive agreed-upon non-wage benefits, promoting fair labor standards and compliance with collective bargaining agreements or statutory requirements.
FRINGE BENEFIT CONTRIBUTIONS. No later than the twenty-fifth (25) day of each and every month the Employer shall mail to the Trustees of their designated depository, a check or checks being made payable as designated to cover payment for the previous month to the Health and Welfare Fund, Pension Fund, Apprenticeship and Training Fund, Political Action Fund, Administrative Dues Check-Off, Organizing Fund, and any other fund that is established within this Agreement. In addition, the Employer will properly complete and mail such forms and records as designated by the Trustees of said Fund. Each or any of the Funds referenced in this Agreement may engage a certified public accounting firm to periodically audit the books, payroll and wage records of any contributing Employer(s) for the purpose, of verifying contributions and deductions due and owing to the respective Fund(s) and/or liabilities for contributions due and owing to such Fund. In the event such audit discloses for any period a deficiency in the payments reported and paid/not paid and the outstanding deficiency owed is greater than 10% of the amount originally reported for such period under this Agreement, the cost of the audit will be borne by the Employer. In addition to all other remedies available to the parties and/or the various Fringe Benefit Funds with respect to “delinquent” Employers, the Union may treat any failure by an Employer to satisfy a delinquency as a breach of this Agreement. In such event, the Union may, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, and without being limited by any “no strike” obligation that may appear in this Agreement or be implicit in its terms, remove its members from any job(s) of such delinquent Employer. A removal of manpower by the Union, pursuant to this provision, shall not be construed as a “termination” of this Agreement with respect to any affected Employer.
