Back-Office Support for Union Contractors
Is Veltronx a fit?
Veltronx is a good fit for union contractors working under one or more collective bargaining agreements. A dedicated Veltronx team prepares the monthly remittance reports for each local and trust fund, keeps CBA wage and fringe rates current by classification, reconciles contributions against payroll, tracks dues checkoff and reciprocity, and keeps records ready for a trust fund audit, all for your review before anything is paid or submitted.
Union work brings a reporting calendar most non-union contractors never see: a separate report for each fund and each local, rates that change with every agreement, and auditors who can look back years.
The back-office reality
The paperwork union contractors carry.
Every CBA and trust fund sets its own rules, but the recurring work looks much the same from local to local.
- 01
Monthly remittance reports
Hours worked and contributions are reported to each trust fund, commonly monthly and often due by a set day of the following month, with some locals requiring weekly or semi-monthly reports.
- 02
Several funds per local
Health and welfare, pension, annuity, apprenticeship and training, and industry funds can each have their own rate, report and payment.
- 03
Rates by classification and local
Wage and fringe rates differ by classification and change when agreements renew, so a single flat rate across a crew is a common and costly mistake.
- 04
Dues checkoff
Working dues and other authorized deductions withheld from members' pay have to be calculated and remitted to the local.
- 05
Multiple locals and reciprocity
Crews working outside their home local can create separate reports for each local, and reciprocity arrangements route contributions back to the member's home fund.
- 06
Trust fund audits
Funds audit contributing employers against payroll records, timecards and tax filings. Late or inaccurate reports can bring interest, liquidated damages and audit findings.
- 07
Apprentice ratios
Many agreements set apprentice-to-journeyworker ratios on the job that have to be tracked and documented.
- 08
Prevailing wage on top
Union contractors on public work often carry certified payroll reporting as well as their trust fund reports.

What stays with you
Prepared by us. Decided by you.
Veltronx staff prepare and reconcile; you approve. Every remittance report and payment to a fund is reviewed and released by your team. Veltronx does not interpret collective bargaining agreements or represent you in disputes or audits; that stays with your labor counsel, CPA and contractor association.

FAQ
Questions we hear.
Can Veltronx prepare our union remittance reports?
Yes. A Veltronx team member prepares the monthly (or weekly, where your agreement requires it) remittance reports for each local and trust fund from your payroll, reconciles hours and contributions, and prepares them for your review before the due date.
We work with several locals. Can one team member handle all of them?
Often, yes. Multiple locals mean multiple rate sheets, reports and deadlines, which is exactly the recurring, detail-heavy work a dedicated team member can own. The number of locals and funds is part of how the role is scoped.
Do you help with trust fund audits?
Your team member can keep payroll records, timecards, remittance reports and contribution reconciliations organized so you are ready when a fund auditor asks. Veltronx does not represent you in the audit itself; that stays with your CPA or counsel.
Does Veltronx interpret our collective bargaining agreement?
No. Your team works from the rate sheets and rules you and your association provide. Questions about how an agreement applies go to your labor counsel or association.
How much does it cost?
Veltronx pricing is quote-based: one monthly fee per dedicated team member, built around your needs, the experience level the role requires and your timeline, and confirmed in writing after a discovery call.
