Contractors working across multiple jurisdictions continue to face questions surrounding “Money Follows the Member” and where various contributions should be directed. As interpretations and expectations continue to evolve, understanding the difference between benefit contributions, dues, and association funds has become increasingly important for contractors, payroll teams, and office staff.
To help provide additional clarity, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades recently developed a “Benefits Follow the Member” educational video outlining the current guidance and framework surrounding these issues.

Watch the Video here.

FCA International will also be providing additional resources and educational information in the coming weeks to help contractors better understand their obligations to both the home local and the jobsite local.

Contractors are encouraged to remember that each situation can vary based on:

  • Collective Bargaining Agreement language
  • Fund structure and administration
  • District Council practices
