If you are a federal, state or municipal contractor performing projects and services that are subject to The Davis Bacon or The Service Contract Act, implementing a fringe benefit plan is one of the most effective methods to save bottom-line dollars.
When working on a public works job, contractors are usually required to pay a “fringe” amount for every hour each employee works. Paying the fringe as cash wages, while legal, is the most expensive method for contractors because all wages are subject to the following payroll burden:
- FICA Contributions
- Federal Unemployment Taxes
- State Unemployment Taxes
- Workers Compensation
- General Liability
The net result is that for each fringe dollar paid as wages, you incur unnecessary payroll taxes – averaging 25% on every fringe dollar paid. The most effective way to avoid this payroll burden is by implementing a fringe benefit plan.
Piedmont Group specializes in helping contractors direct fringe dollars into bona fide employee benefit plans, thus avoiding the unnecessary payroll burden.
Our bona fide fringe benefit plans include:
- Qualified Retirement Plans
- Hour Banked Health Plans
- Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plans (SUB)
