For Employers

Overview

• The Alaska Electrical Trust Funds collect contributions from participating employers to administer the retirement, health, and legal benefits to eligible employees and their families.
• The Administrative Office facilitates the collection of contributions and reporting of employee hours. We also ensure compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
• Contribution rates vary according to which Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) or Special Agreement the reported employees work under.
• The process for paying contributions and reporting hours depends on what type of CBA or special agreement you have.
• IBEW/NECA agreements: All employers who are signatory to IBEW/NECA agreements use an electronic reporting tool called EPRLive.
• All Other Agreements: For the time being all other agreements will continue to reporting on the Excel templates provided by the Administrative Office.

Bonding

To ensure payment of employer contributions, all employers signatory to an IBEW-NECA construction agreement must provide a $50,000 surety bond. Employers that are signatory to the IBEW-NECA Tree Trimmer agreement must provide a $20,000 surety bond. The bond may be purchased from the insurance or brokerage firm of your choice; however, it may not be canceled without the Trust Fund’s approval. Original proof of the bond must be on file at the Administrative Office of the Trust Funds.
