The use of PIPELINE is mandated as the sole means of remitting your company’s monthly remittances to Local 52, in accordance with the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local Union 52 Agreement, Article IV, Section

1. Check-off Administrative Dues, Article VIII Health & Welfare Section 3 and Article IX Pension Section 3 which states, “On or before the fifteenth (15th) of each month, the EMPLOYER will remit to the UNION the amount of deductions collected for the previous month. All Employers are required to report deductions electronically using the Local 52 PIPELINE. Effective June 1, 2021, electronic payment via Automated Clearing House (ACH) or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) through PIPELINE for deductions will be mandatory for all Employers.” “All contributions required by the Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be paid to the Local 52 Health & Welfare, Pension and Apprenticeship Plan and shall be in the manner and form determined by the Trustees. Employer contributions for each month shall be remitted on or before the fifteenth (15th) of each month, in compliance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement.” “Plan Guidelines state, Health & Welfare, Pension and Apprenticeship Funds require that all participating employers use the “PIPELINE” for reporting hours and electronic payment of contributions via Automated Clearing House (ACH) or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). No other reporting or payment method will be accepted.”
