<br />EXHIBIT VIII- T, Cont. <br /> <br />INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF <br />STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE <br /> <br />This statement of compliance meets needs resulting from the amendment of the Davis-Bacon Act to include fringe benefits <br />provisions. Under this amended law, the contractor is required to pay fringe benefits as predetermined by the Department of <br />Labor, in addition to payment of the minimum rates. The contractor's obligation to pay fringe benefits may be met by payment <br />of the fringes to the various plans, funds, or programs by making these payments to the employees as cash in lieu of fringes. <br /> <br />The contractor should show on the face of his payroll all monies paid to the employees whether as basic rates or as cash in <br />lieu of fringes. The contractor shall represent in the statement of compliance that he is paying to others fringes required by <br />the contact and not paid as cash in lieu of fringes. Detailed instructions follow: <br /> <br />Contractors who pay all required fringe benefits: <br /> <br />A contractor who pays fringe benefits to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts not less than predetermined in the <br />applicable wage decision of the Secretary of Labor shall continue to show on the face of this payroll the basic cash hourly rate <br />and overtime rate paid to his employees, just as he has always done. Such a contractor shall check paragraph 4(a) of the <br />statement to indicate that he is also paying to approved plans, funds, or programs not less than the amount predetermined <br />as fringe benefits for each craft. Any exception shall be noted in Section 4(c). <br /> <br />Contractors who pay no fringe benefits: <br /> <br />A contractor who pays no fringe benefits shall pay to the employee and insert in the straight time hourly rate column of his <br />payroll an amount not less than the predetermined rate for each classification plus the amount of fringe benefits determined <br />for each classification in the applicable wage decision. Inasmuch as it is not necessary to pay time and a half on cash paid <br />in lieu of fringes, the overtime rate shall be not less than the sum of the basic predetermined rate, plus the half time premium <br />of the basic or regular rate plus the required cash in lieu of fringes at the straight time rate. To simplify computation of overtime, <br />it is suggested that the straight time basic rate and cash in lieu of fringes be separately stated in the hourly rate column, thus <br />$3.25/.40. In addition, the contractor shall check paragraph 4(b) of the statement to indicate that he is paying fringe benefits <br />in cash directly to his employees. Any exception shall be noted in Section 4(c). <br /> <br />Use of Section 4(c), Exceptions <br /> <br />Any contractor who is making payment to approved plans, funds, or programs in amounts less than the wage determination <br />requires is obligated to pay the deficiency directly to the employees as cash in lieu of fringes. Any exception to Section 4(a) <br />or 4(b), whichever the contractor may check, shall be entered in Section 4(c). Enter in the Exception column the craft and enter <br />in the Explanation column the hourly amount paid the employees as cash in lieu of fringes, and the hourly amount paid to <br />plans, funds, or programs as fringes. <br /> <br />GPO: 1981 0 -345-632 <br />For sale by the Superintendent of Documents <br />U.
