Worker’s Comp and payroll taxes take a huge bite out of a contractors profit when working on Public Works construction projects – especially if the contractor is paying the full fringe benefit rate of the prevailing wage to the employee in cash and not to the Union Hall or into bona-fide plans. Contractors in California will soon be faced with yet another increase in Worker’s Compensation premiums.
Public Works Construction and Prevailing Wage projects require advanced financial planning methods and tools along with an understanding of the ever-changing compliance requirements — so that you can reduce your overhead and get paid on time.
Join Tim Blackwell of InsuranceDude.com, Steve Kuzmack of Fringe Benefit Experts, Bruce McFarland of L & R Tax Preparation, and Nancy Smyth of Sunburst Software Solutions, Inc. for a free, live 1 hour *Google+ hangout on Tuesday June 12, 2012 from 5-6 p.m. EST where we discuss easy to understand strategies for:
- determining if you are paying too much for your Worker’s Comp insurance
- how to prepare for yet another increase in Worker’s Compensation premiums, if you are a contractor in California
- how to lower labor costs by contributing the fringe benefit rate on prevailing wage jobs into bona-fide plans
- complying with with certified payroll reporting requirements on Federal and/or State funded construction projects — including the impact of the new Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and the filing of electronic certified payroll reports through MyLCM.
- how the tax credits from the IRS may or may not come into play when the contractor does set up a health insurance plan
