SMART Local 58 Journeyman (under $10M job) — 2020 sheet — effective May 1, 2020 · source CNY Sheet Metal Contractors Association wage/fringe sheet naming Local 58 (2020)
| Base hourly wage | $29.63/hr | Straight-time journeyman (under $10m job) — 2020 sheet rate on the current wage determination, before fringes. |
|---|---|---|
| Total package | $51.63/hr | Wage plus all employer-paid benefit and fringe contributions per hour worked. |
| Approximate annual wage | $59,260/yr | Derived: base hourly × 2,000 hours. Actual earnings depend on hours dispatched, overtime and travel. |
| Effective date | May 1, 2020 | Date this rate took effect under the agreement, as printed on the CNY Sheet Metal Contractors Association wage/fringe sheet naming Local 58 (2020) wage determination. |
| Classification | Journeyman (under $10M job) — 2020 sheet | Rate applies to this classification only. Apprentice steps, foremen and shift work are paid on separate lines of the wage determination. |
Roughly 43% of the SMART Local 58 package is employer-paid benefits and fringes rather than wages, which is why the package figure and a take-home hourly rate are not the same number.
| Benefit & fringe contributions | $22.00/hr | Derived: total package minus base wage. This is the employer's combined hourly contribution to the funds, not take-home pay. |
|---|---|---|
| What the contributions fund | Health & welfare, pension, annuity, training and industry funds | Standard fund categories in mechanical and electrical agreements. The exact split between funds is set in the local's agreement — the hall or fund office publishes the schedule. |
| Paid on | Every hour worked | Fringe contributions are made per hour worked, so they scale with dispatched hours and are paid to the funds rather than to the member. |
