Pension Fund 1. The Employer shall make contributions to a pension trust fund known as the “Building Service 32BJ Pension Fund” to cover bargaining unit employees who are regularly employed twenty (20) or more hours per week, including paid time off. The Employer shall also make contributions on behalf of other bargaining unit employees to the extent that such employees work a sufficient number of hours to require benefit accrual pursuant to Section 204 of ERISA. Employees unable to work and who are on statutory short term disability benefits or workers’ compensation shall continue to accrue pension credits without employer contributions during the periods of disability up to six (6) months or the period of the disability, whichever is earlier.
2. Effective January 1, 2020, the rate of contribution to the Fund shall be $118.75 per week for each covered employee, payable when and how the Trustees determine. Effective January 1, 2021, the rate of contribution to the Fund shall be $122.75 per week for each covered employee. Effective January 1, 2022, the rate of contribution to the Fund shall be $126.75 per week for each covered employee. Effective January 1, 2023, the rate of contribution to the Fund shall be $130.75 per week for each covered employee. The bargaining parties agree that the foregoing contribution requirements for the Pension Fund are consistent with the contribution rate schedules required by the Pension Fund’s rehabilitation plan under Section 432 of the Internal Revenue Code.
3. Any Employer who becomes party to this Agreement and who immediately prior thereto has a pension plan in effect which provides benefits equivalent to or better than the benefits provided herein, may, upon agreement of the Union and RAB, cover its employees under its existing plan in lieu of this Fund and be relieved of the obligation to make contributions to the Fund for the period of such other coverage.
4. If the Employer has an existing plan as referred to above, it shall not discontinue or reduce benefits without prior Union consent and the existing plan shall remain obligated to the employee(s) for whatever benefits they may be entitled.
5. In no event shall the Trustees or any of them, the Union or the RAB, directly or indirectly, by reason of this Agreement, be understood to consent to the extinguishment, change or diminution of any legal rights, vested or otherwise, that anyone may have in the continuation in existing form of any such Employer pension plan, and the Trustees or any of them, the Union and the RAB shall be held harmless by an Employer against any action brought by anyone covered under such Employer’s plan asserting a claim based upon anything done pursuant to Section 4. Notice of the pendency of any such action shall be given to the Employer who may defend the action on behalf of the indemnitee.
6. The parties agree that if there are new governmental regulations issued that implement the excise tax provisions of the Pension Protection Act (PPA), or there is further governmental reform relating to the funding of pension funds, the parties shall meet to discuss what steps, if any, might be appropriate to ameliorate any adverse impact on the Funds, its participants and employers. To the extent that any employer covered by this Agreement, with respect to employees covered by this Agreement, becomes subject to an automatic employer surcharge or any excise tax, penalty, fee, increased contribution rate or other amount relating to the funding of the Pension Fund (but not including interest, liquidated damages, or other amounts owed as a consequence of failing to make timely remittance of contributions to the Pension Fund) under Sections 412 or 432 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the parties agree that the required contributions to the Health Fund, Training Fund and/or Legal Services Fund for each employer covered under this Agreement shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the aggregate amount of any additional contribution and/or surcharge amounts, excise taxes, penalties, fees or other amounts that such employer is required to pay, as provided in this subsection. Unless a different allocation among the Funds is agreed upon in advance of any applicable due date for such contributions by the Presidents of the RAB and Local 32BJ, such amount shall be allocated solely from the Health Fund.
Annual Work Plans and Budgets The Recipient shall furnish to the Association as soon as available, but in any case not later than September 1 of each year, the annual work plan and budget for the Project for each subsequent year of Project implementation, of such scope and detail as the Association shall have reasonably requested, except for the annual work plan and budget for the Project for the first year of Project implementation, which shall be furnished no later than one (1) month after the Effective Date.

(C) When all Costs of a particular Project to be paid from the Project Fund have been so paid, as evidenced by a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Trust delivered to the Master Trustee, or when otherwise directed herein, any amount remaining unexpended in the Project Fund allocable to such Project shall be either (1) applied to the prepayment of the applicable Loan and transferred by the Master Trustee to either (i) the Senior Redemption Fund or Subordinate Redemption Fund or (ii) applied to Costs of other Projects to the extent permitted under the Clean Water Act or the Drinking Water Act, as applicable, and the DEP Regulations (upon delivery to the Master Trustee of an original executed counterpart of an amendment or supplement to the applicable Financing Agreement and Regulatory Agreement), or (2) applied as a credit against any Borrower Payments then or thereafter due under the applicable Financing Agreement and transferred by the Master Trustee to the Revenue Fund or the Senior Debt Service Fund or Subordinate Debt Service Fund (as directed by the Trust), or (3) any combination of the foregoing, as directed in a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Trust delivered to the Master Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph (C), no moneys remaining in a Project Fund upon final disbursement therefrom for Costs of the applicable Project may be transferred by the Master Trustee to the Revenue Fund or to the Senior Debt Service Fund or Subordinate Debt Service Fund unless the written direction of an Authorized Officer of the Trust is accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such transfer will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on any Bonds Outstanding for federal income tax purposes.
(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, upon the written direction of an Authorized Officer of the Trust, the Master Trustee shall transfer the amount on deposit in the Project Fund allocable to a particular Borrower to the Senior Debt Service Fund or Subordinate Debt Service Fund, as applicable, any amounts necessary for the payment of any Borrower Payments due and unpaid on the related Loan or any other outstanding Loan to the same Borrower to the extent that at such time no moneys are available therefor in any other Funds and Accounts established hereunder or under the applicable Financing Agreement.
