Frequently Asked Questions
Am I required to submit my fringe benefit forms electronically?
Yes, this is the “form” created by the Sheet Metal Local #10 Control Board for reporting hours for local #10 fringe benefits.
Note all National fringe benefits will still be remitted through the National’s remittance site at https:smwnbf.org or call at 1-800-231-4622.
Why is the Sheet Metal Local 10 Control Board using this new submission method?
The Sheet Metal Local #10 Benefit Office is now using a new benefits software system which includes this new, modernized on-line remittance platform. The previous on-line remittance system was on an old software platform being phased out and required an upgrade. This system will save employers time, create efficiencies, and help prevent previous slow-downs in the process.
Can payments be submitted electronically, along with fringe benefit forms?
Payments will be made via ACH through the website. Please see website user manual for electronic payment instructions. Paying via ACH through the on-line system is the most secure, efficient, and fastest way to be in compliance with your remittance.
Is this transaction secure? Should I be concerned about the electronic transmission of my employee's social security number?
All transactions are encrypted, secure, and in compliance with all state privacy laws concerning electronic transmission of social security numbers.
How do I know if my payroll report is compatible with the file upload feature?
In the website user manual, you will find details on the file format required for uploading a contribution file. Microsoft Excel may be used to produce files in compatible formats.

The website user manual can be found at the “Employer Forms” link in the “Employer Information” tab of the website.
What dates should I enter as the “Work Start” and “Work End” dates?
Please enter the first day of the work month as the “Work Start” date and the last day of the work month as the “Work End” date. For example, for work performed in May, the “Work Start” day would be May 1st and the “Work End” day would be May 31st.
I just finalized a report and found an error. How do I delete this transaction once I’ve finalized?
If, after you’ve clicked the “finalize report” button and transmitted your electronic form, you realize a correction is needed, you will need to have the transaction voided. To do this, please call the Benefit Office and give them the invoice number from the incorrect report so that the incorrect report can be voided and you may submit a corrected report.
Do I have to wait until an erroneous report is voided before I put a corrected one through?
No, you do not have to wait to submit a corrected report. If, however, you see any incorrect reports remaining after you have requested it be voided, please contact the Benefit Office.
How should I notify the Benefit Office of any important notifications such as believing that I will no longer be active in your jurisdiction?
On the fringe benefit summary screen you will see a section for comments. There you can type any important message you would like to include with your report and it will be communicated to the Benefit Office.
When will my payment be processed via ACH?
There is a 2 work-day lag between when ACH transactions are submitted and when they are deposited into the Benefit office’s bank account, so you should submit your payment at least 2 work-days prior to when you want it posted as “paid”. Remember, local fringes are due by the 10th of the month.
