Fringe Benefit Calculation Worksheet

One worksheet per worker classification per project.

Project / contract number: 
Wage determination number: 
Worker name: 
Labor classification: 
Week ending date:

Step 1. Required total from the wage determination

Basic hourly rate:$
Required fringe rate (per hour):$

Step 2. Bona fide plan contributions (hourly equivalents)

Health and welfare$
Pension / retirement$
Vacation and holiday$
Apprenticeship / training$
Other (describe)$
Total plan contributions (A)$

Count only payments to bona fide plans, funds, or programs. Amounts paid directly to the worker belong in Step 3, not here. Hourly equivalent = the plan's cost for the contribution period divided by all hours this worker worked in that period, covered and non-covered alike (29 CFR 5.25(c)(1)).

Step 3. Cash paid in lieu of fringes

Required fringe rate minus total plan contributions (A) = cash owed in lieu, per hour (B):$

If (A) meets or exceeds the required fringe rate, (B) is zero. Cash in lieu is paid as ordinary taxable wages in the paycheck.

Step 4. WH-347 entries

Column 6A straight-time rate (the cash hourly rate; do not add cash in lieu):$
Column 6A overtime rate (straight-time cash rate plus half of it; never counted below the wage determination basic rate):$
Hours worked this week, ST plus OT (Column 5):
Column 6B for the week = (A) x hours:$
Column 6C for the week = (B) x hours:$
Column 7A this project = 6A(ST) x ST hours + 6A(OT) x OT hours + 6C; never add 6B:$

Page-2 Hourly Credit for Fringe Benefits table: each Step 2 line's hourly amount, by plan. Cash in lieu (B) is paid in the paycheck as ordinary wages but never added into Column 6A.
