Determining Contribution Amount

Reporting for Bargaining Unit Employees

Reporting for bargaining unit employees is very simple. The NEBF contribution amount is 3% of the employee’s gross labor payroll.
 
 

Reporting for Non-Bargaining Unit Employees

Regardless of the type of participation agreement the contributing employer has there are two important things to remember:
  1. Actual hours for the reporting period must be reported for each non-bargaining unit employee.
  2. Actual or capped gross earnings for the reporting period must be reported for each non-bargaining unit employee.
