The employer report is due on the 15th of the month, but not considered delinquent if received by the 20th (5 day grace period).

If you become delinquent you will receive a series of letters and phone calls from the Trust Fund attempting to ascertain the reason for the delinquency and when we can expect payment. If the situation cannot be resolved, or if you completely ignore all attempts to resolve the matter with the Trust Fund, then the matter will be turned over to Legal Counsel for collection. You should be advised that under ERISA, you may then be liable for all attorneys fees and costs, interest, as well as liquidated damages.

For assistance on correcting any reporting errors on previously submitted contribution reports, please contact the Trust Fund Office at (626) 297-3036 or email to scfctrusts@pswadmin.com.

If you require assistance in completing your monthly employer reporting form, please call (626) 279-3072 or by email to scfctrusts@pswadmin.com.

Contribution reports are mailed with a return envelope for your convenience, but you may also hand-deliver reports and payment to the Trust Fund Office at 4399 Santa Anita Ave, #200, El Monte, CA 91731. However, it is recommended that you mail the reports to the appropriate lockbox for quicker processing time

A liquidated damage assessment will be the same whether your payment is one day late or thirty-one days late. The provisions of the collective bargaining agreement provide for an assessment of liquidated damages based on unpaid contributions.

According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, reports are considered late if not received by the 20th of the month, and are assessed applicable late charges.

If you cannot pay your contributions on time, it is imperative that you send in the original contribution report without payment and a letter explaining the reason why the contributions will not be remitted at this time.  The letter should also include when you expect to remit payment. The Trust Fund will be in contact with you regarding payment of these contributions but it is imperative that we receive the contribution report since the data contained on this report is the basis for eligibility for your employees. Notification to the Trust Fund of your inability to pay the contributions in a timely manner will not relieve you of any liquidated damages and/or interest that may be assessed.

One check may be drafted for one contribution report or multiple reports for all funds.

It is preferable that you use the contribution reports which we send you on a monthly basis. The reason for this is that the names of the employees appear in our computer system in the same order as they appear on the contribution reports. This makes entering the data into the computer much easier and less prone to error. If you are going to submit contributions on a worksheet that you have created, we request that you make sure the employees are listed in alphabetical order with social security numbers.  The hours and wages should be displayed next to each name.
