No. If you sign up for Employer Portal, that will only take the place of the report form(s) that you are currently receiving from Central Laborers. For example, let’s say that you are currently receiving three report forms from Central Laborers, one report form from the Great Plains Laborers District Council and one report form from the Local Union. If you were to sign up for Employer Portal, you would be doing the three reports for Central Laborers’ online and everything else would remain the same.
No – all adjustments to prior reports must be put in writing and sent to the Fund office so that we can determine if the correction can be made. An example of such an incident would be if annuity money was paid in on someone and the member closed out his annuity account prior to the correction being made, then we would not be able to make the correction because there would be no money to refund back to the employer.
No – the same argument holds true as the prior question. All adjustments must be looked at individually.
Yes – the program is set up where the money is linked to the report from the time that the employer schedules the payment to the time it is actually posted in our system.

Contributions FAQs
The matter of shifting hours reported in the first month (October 1) of a Plan Year to the last month (September) of the preceding Plan Year has been reviewed by the Trustees for participants with similar requests, and the Trustees have reaffirmed the provisions of Article 4, Section 4.1(a)(3) of the Pension Plan Rules and Regulations regarding the acceptance of employer remittance report forms for purposes of determining pension credit. In order for the hours in question to be shifted the employer must submit corrected report forms for the periods in question. The corrections will be necessary for all employees who worked during the pay period in question, and will affect both the September and October reports.
Contributions must be postmarked by the 15th of the following month in which the hours were worked.
The most important thing that you should do is to keep your check stubs and W-2’s. These are legal documents that prove you were an employee of a particular employer and will be used to determine whether or not all of your hours have been properly reported. At the end of the year, you should put your check stubs and W-2’s with your tax return information and keep them in a safe place.
You should contact the Employer Contributions Department by phone at 1-800-252-6571, Extension 4 or by email at contributions@central-laborers.com. We will review the hours reported by your employers and if it appears that some hours were not reported, we will ask you to send copies of your check stubs to our office for review. We will then determine whether or not there is a shortage. If there are hours due to you, we will demand payment from your employer and take any and all reasonable action to collect the contributions due on your behalf.
The hours will be applied to the period in which they were worked. The Fund Office will adjust your pension credits for the fiscal year in which the hours were worked. We will also apply the hours for welfare eligibility in the time period they were worked and if the delinquent hours cause any change in your eligibility status, the Fund Office will make the appropriate adjustments. If you made self-payment, all or a portion of the self-payment will be refunded. If any claims were denied, the claims will be processed in accordance with the plan of benefits.
