How it runs.
Every fund has its own form, portal or file. One takes a CSV with rate codes, another a pre-printed form, and one automatically penalizes late money.

The rules and limits.
- Local 98's file
- Only .csv or .txt, no Excel or PDF. No header row needed. Six fields in order: Member SSN, Last Name, First Name, Rate Level, Standard Hours, Wages.
- Rate level codes
- Local 98 uses ST, NHP, RL2 through RL9, TH and THP. Each payroll code has to map to the fund's code before the file is built.
- Key Persons
- One Iron Workers council's 2019 letter requires a separate Key Persons form for each home local benefit package, because contribution rates differ between locals.
- Months with no hours
- Funds still want a report. Local 98 has a Zero Hour Report. Wisconsin Laborers asks for one marked "no employees" so you do not appear delinquent.
- Due dates
- Two funds' published instructions say the 15th of the following month. Wisconsin Laborers says a penalty is automatically assessed on past-due fringes. Check each agreement.
What a person does.
- Confirm hours, rates and home local before any report is filed.
- Sign in to each fund's portal and upload, or mail the form.
- Send payment and confirm the totals match the fund's calculation.
- Decide retro adjustments and disputed classifications.
Where we stand: we have not shipped this. Each fund's portal terms sit behind its login, so a person uploads and pays.
Common questions.
Is there one standard remittance file?+
We found none. Published fund instructions differ: one takes a six-field CSV, another a pre-printed form, another an Excel form or portal. We would confirm each of your funds' rules first.
Can you upload or pay for us?+
No. Portals like Local 98's require a login and Terms of Use we cannot read from outside. Your staff sign in, upload and pay. We would prepare the file and the totals to check.
Does this make us compliant with our agreements?+
No. It applies the rates and rules you confirm. Your collective bargaining agreement and the fund office decide what is owed, and you stay responsible for what you report.
