Savings Accounts Going Inactive

Please inform members who participate in the savings program that if they extract all their money from their savings account, that account could be deactivated after 45 days for inactivity. If this happens, that members savings contributions would be rejected by the bank and a new account would have to be created for that member. This would result in members not having access to their savings dollars for, potentially, 2 of more reporting periods. By leaving two of more dollars in the account, this will not happen.

WebCore Reporting Tool is now MANDATORY.

All contractor reporting is required to be posted through the WebCore Contractor Reporting Tool. Most Contractors have had the tool installed and received training on how to report using this tool.

If you are not yet using WebCore, please call us immediately to schedule installation and training. This takes 15 to 20 minutes and is done over the phone and the internet. This will not require an office visit.

Joliet 422 CBA switch to the Chicago 130 CBA wage package

The Wages, Funds and rates have changed in the transition from the Joliet 422 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) to the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers LU 130 CBA. When you complete your final May contributions report for Joliet 422, you want to ensure that all of May hours are calculated using the Joliet CBA wage package. The easiest way to do this is to include ALL of Mays hours in your May report regardless of your payroll end date. If you don’t do this, you’ll need to create a separate May ‘supplement’ report for the remaining days.

When reporting using the WebCore Reporting Tool, you will need to complete Mays reporting entirely, including any ‘supplemental’ reports before you can post your June report. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact the Data Center and we’ll assist you with this process.
