Labor

This class will cover UCON members' most frequently asked certified payroll questions and common pitfalls.

Including Compliance requirements of Labor Code 1776, which is covered by certified payroll and contractor registration, and apprenticeship requirements. FFC will walk attendees through finding prevailing wage determinations, completing necessary forms, and accessing other resources. The last 30 minutes of the meeting will be a moderated Q&A with Ruby Varnadore.

Subcontracting violations are the most common and most costly grievance union contractors face.

Yet, most of these issues can be mitigated or avoided entirely through sound subcontracts and strong labor relations advocacy.

But that’s not enough; ensuring that your project managers know their rights, take advantage of subcontracting exclusions where available, and can properly advise subs on how to comply are all essentials covered in this course.

Unexpected overtime can make or break your bottom line. Yet, the rules are easy to misinterpret or take for granted, causing cost creep and wage claims. Join this class to ensure your team knows how to take advantage of overtime and Special Single Shift (SSS) rules under the Laborers, OE3, Carpenters, and Cement Masons Master Agreements.
