Payroll Tax Savings Could Mean the Difference Between Winning or Losing Your Next Bid!

When you choose Arrow Contractors Trust–our IRS-approved and Department of Labor-accepted plan and trust–you’ll reduce your costs, making you more competitive. In addition, you’ll be providing your employees with health insurance benefits, which will ensure you’re in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.

Why you need an expert

Bona-fide prevailing wage benefit plans require an understanding and application of a multitude of rules and regulations. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), IRS rules, the Davis-Bacon Act and state prevailing wage regulations must be carefully coordinated to preserve the compliance integrity and tax advantages of a plan.
