3 Pipe Fabrication Agreement Online Reporting System Instruction Manual
Understanding the Pipe Fabrication Online Reporting System The Online Reporting System for the Pipe Fabrication Agreement is a portal used for the mandatory online
reporting of both fabrication and installation hours as required per Article XIII, paragraph 44 in the National
Minimum Standard Agreement for a Commercial Pipe Fabrication Shop. Each signatory employer is required to
report on a monthly basis a breakdown of the total hours worked for each period for Building Trades
Journeymen (including Fabrication Journeymen), Building Trades Apprentices, and Metal Trades Employees
(Journeymen and Apprentices). A breakdown of total hours worked by all classifications relating to work
performed on industrial piping, process piping, installation of pipe in the field, and fabrication related to
commercial and/or domestic plumbing, comfort heating, air conditioning and ammonia systems must be
reported.
Contributions in the amount of $.05 per hour to the International Training Fund (ITF) and $.05 per hour to the
United Association Labor Management Cooperation Fund (UALMC) are also required for all fabrication hours
reported as per Article X, paragraphs 36 & 37 in the National Minimum Standard Agreement for a Commercial
Pipe Fabrication Shop. Upon submission of the required monthly reports, an invoice for the fabrication hours
will be automatically generated and sent via email to the person responsible for reporting hours. Payment must
be sent directly to the UALMC. Payment instructions will be included on the invoice.
The Online Reporting System contains two (2) sections: Building Trade and Metal Trade. Each section has two
(2) categories: Hours Worked by Journeymen and Hours Worked by Apprentices. Under the Building Trade
section, there are four (4) classifications: Industrial Piping, Process Piping, Comfort Heating and Cooling and
Plumbing. There are designated fields to report hours for fabrication and installation for each of the categories
and classifications mentioned. Any hours for work performed in the Building Trades section should be broken
down by classification and entered as fabrication or installation hours in the respective category for Journeymen
or Apprentices.
There are no classifications under the Metal Trades section. Any hours for work performed in this category
should be entered as installation or fabrication hours for Journeymen or Apprentice.
Registration All signatory employers must provide information for each fabrication shop and all users on the Letter of Assent.
Each shop location must include user information for each person responsible for reporting hours. This
information will be used by the United Association to register the person(s) responsible for reporting hours in
the Online Reporting System. An email will be sent to each registered user to notify them that they have been
registered and may proceed to create a password.
If your company has been registered and you have an active user account, continue to use your current user
name and password to report hours. Refer to the Reporting Hours: Active Users section for further instructions
(see page 6).
User Accounts Each user must have a separate account to access the Online Reporting System. A unique user name and
password are required for each person. The user name is the email address provided during the initial
registration process. Each user will be able to create their own password once the registration and setup
process has been completed. Please note, you must have an active user account and password before you can
start reporting hours.
