An employer must sign a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters before we can accept benefit contributions on behalf of employees.
A Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) states the terms and conditions that are applicable for work performed in a specified geographical area. Among other things, the agreement defines the employees covered under the bargaining unit, establishes wage and benefit rates (including exceptions), and specifies the duration of the agreement.
The CBA may be in the form of a Compliance Agreement or Project Agreement linked to one or more Master Agreements.
If an employer is signatory to any agreement for our jurisdiction, contributions are owed for hours worked.
Do you understand our expectations for employers? The links on the left can direct you to the details, but our requirements boil down to 4 simple things:
1. Fill out the form.
2. Write the check.
3. Deposit funds by due date.
4. Keep good records.
We know it can be frustrating when you don’t have the right information. Be sure to contact us with your questions and suggestions.
