No. A fixed hourly fringe is met for each employee.
For a fixed hourly health and welfare amount the obligation is met for each individual employee. Costs cannot be averaged across the workforce.
The short answer, then the detail.
How it works
- It applies to all paid hours, including vacation, sick leave and holidays, up to 40 hours a week and 2,080 hours a year per contract.
- Part-time and temporary employees receive a pro-rated share based on their time on covered work.
What to watch
- A rich plan for some employees does not make up for others who fall short.
- Employees on leave still carry paid hours that count.
What CFH does
- Builds a per-employee model on your census.
- Shows where benefits carry the fringe and where it falls short.
- Hands payroll the numbers by employee.
