Fringe Benefit Plans

If you are a federal/ state contractor performing projects (services) subject to The Davis Bacon or The Service Contract Act, there is no better way to save bottom-line dollars than installing a bona-fide fringe benefit plan.

When working on a public works job contractors are 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 because all wages are subject to the following payroll burden*:

  • FICA Contributions
  • Workers Compensation Premiums
  • General Liability Premiums
  • Federal Unemployment Taxes
  • State Unemployment Taxes

The net result is that for every fringe dollar paid as wages unnecessary payroll taxes are incurred.

On average, this amounts to 25% or $.25 on every dollar. The most effective way to avoid this payroll burden is with a fringe benefit plan.
