Trustees have made a reasonable request, the Employer fails to produce its books and records necessar y for a proper audit, the

Trustees, in their sole discretion, may determine that the Employer’s

monthly hours subject to contributions for each month of the requested audit period are the highest number of Employee hours for

any month during the twelve (12) preceding months audited, or during the last twelve (12) months for which reports were filed,

whichever monthly number of hours is greater. Such determination

by the Trustees shall constitute presumptive evidence of delinquency. Prior to making such determination, the Trustees shall mail

a final seven (7) day written notice to the Employer advising him that

such determination shall be made if the Employer does not schedule

a prompt audit. Nothing herein shall mean that the Funds relinquish

dollars ($250.00) per auditor, to cover the expense of the auditor.

(G) It shall be a violation of this Agreement for any Employer to

fail to furnish proper payroll records when requested for the purpose

of completing an audit. The Union shall have the right to remove all

its members from the offending Employer provided that three (3)

days written notice of the intention to remove Employees from a job

is given to the Employer by the Union by certified mail. If such members who are removed remain on the jobsite during regular working

hours, they shall be paid for lost time.

Section 9. Upon failure of an Employer to make remittances to

any of the Funds or to the Union in accordance with the terms of this

mile. Those who elect not to stay over shall be paid a minimum of

$35.00 per day.

Agreement_Const. & By-Laws 5/6/25 10:35 AM Page 19

(A) When Employees report for work on job or to a shop within

any of the above areas and are unable to work, they shall receive the

transportation stipulated for that area.

(B) Employees who are sent to work outside of the jurisdiction of

Local No. 8 on Room and Board jobs shall receive as wages no less

than their hourly rate plus expenses, and a guaranteed minimum of

thirty-five (35) hours per week.

(C) On jobs requiring the employee to stay overnight, the Employer shall pay such monies as negotiated between the Employee

and the Employer prior to the commencement of the job, predicated

on a seven (7) day week, Monday through Sunday schedule.

Section 2. Members of Local No. 8 working in the territory of

another affiliate of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and

Allied Workers, whose total wage and fringe benefits are higher

than those contained in this Agreement shall demand and receive

the higher wage and fringe benefits. Employers signatory to this

Agreement when working in the geographical jurisdiction of another affiliate of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers having any fringe benefit programs maintained by Employer contributions will pay such contributions to the Local Union

in the territory where the employees of the Employer are working.

If any Employer signatory to this Agreement pays into any of the

above mentioned Funds in his territory, he shall not be obligated to

pay into another fund, unless after paying the higher wages to his

Employees and paying into all of its established funds, the total

package is still below that of the sister Local Union’s territory; the

Employer shall be obligated to pay the difference into whatever

fund the sister Local Union has provided in its contract. The Employer shall pay all expenses of traveling in addition to the greater

wage. Employees working outside the area described in Article II

are to observe only those holidays observed in the area in which

they are employed, and time and one-half shall be paid for work permitted on such holidays.

The parties to this Agreement recognize that the nature of the

working conditions in the roofing industry are such that Journeypersons are frequently unable to work sufficient hours within the jurisdiction of Local 8 as covered by this contract to enable them to retain eligibility for health and welfare coverage and accrue pension

credit. As a result of this situation, the Employers located within the

jurisdiction of Local 8 hereby agree that when performing work out-

Agreement_Const. & By-Laws 5/6/25 10:35 AM Page 20

side of the jurisdiction of Local 8 that, fifty percent (50%) of each Employer’s Journeypersons shall nonetheless be comprised of Journeypersons who normally and regularly work for the said Employer,

party to this contract within the jurisdiction of Local 8 of this Agreement. The Employer shall, in all such circumstances, continue to pay

contributions to the Benefit Funds and all ancillary funds. The remainder of the Employer’s work force in such situations when working beyond the jurisdiction of Local 8 and this Agreement may be

composed of employees who normally and regularly work for Employers having collective bargaining agreements with the local

roofers union within whose jurisdiction the work is then being performed. The work rules of the local union in whose jurisdiction jobs

outside the coverage of this agreement are located, however, shall be

used on such job.

Section 3. When a contractor with a collective bargaining agreement with a local roofers union from another jurisdiction enters the

jurisdiction of Local 8, the aforementioned 50% rule as outlined under

Section 2 applies conversely.

In that event, however, if the Local 8 wage and fringe benefit rate is

higher than the wage and fringe benefit rates paid by the contractor

working within the jurisdiction of Local 8, all employees employed by

said contractor must receive the total Local 8 wage and fringe benefit

package as outlined under this Agreement.

As such, if Local 8’s wage rate is higher than the wage rate paid by

the home local agreement, the employee will receive the higher Local

8 wage rate as stated in this Agreement.

In the event the home local total wage and fringe benefit package

due is lower than the total wage and fringe benefit package due under

this Agreement, the Employer will pay the difference between the

higher amount as compared to the lower amount to the Local 8 Benefit Funds, as directed by Local 8.

ARTICLE XIV

Section 1. All of the parties herein recognize that failure to

strictly and faithfully observe safety precautions can render our work

perilous to human life and they therefore pledge themselves ever to

be dedicated to safety in its many phases. All laws, codes, regulations,

and otherwise, Federal, State and Municipal, which are addressed to

heat up a tank truck, feed a kettle or perform any work as covered by

Article III of this agreement.

Kettlepersons shall be licensed and in complete charge of the kettle from light-up time to quitting time. The kettleperson shall not be

required to work on the roof, nor shall they leave the kettle unattended while the burner is on.

Section 5. Any law or regulation to the contrary notwithstanding,

where the General Contractor is required to furnish adequate and

complete sanitary facilities, the Employer herein clearly understands

and agrees that it shall extend every effort to see that same are furnished by the General Contractor, lacking which the Employer will

furnish same. In addition, the contractor will provide women’s facilities when there are women employees.

Section 6. The tool box shall contain as permanent equipment a

first-aid kit, fire lighting equipment, portable water dispenser and

proper drinking cups.
