eBacon is construction-focused certified payroll software with an exclusive bona fide fringe trust option. Our solutions save contractors' time, save money and reduce risk.
A bona fide fringe trust is a legal structure for a separate financial account allowing contractors to fund employee benefits — health insurance, retirement, paid time off — using the fringe portion of prevailing wage, instead of paying the fringe out in cash. Set up correctly, it lowers the employer's costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, and general liability) while keeping the same benefits fully funded for employees.
Most contractors handle it manually — tracking cash wages, fringe credits, and burden rates line-by-line for every prevailing wage job. This typically requires duplicate effort to reconcile everything at reporting time.
eBacon combines fringe calculations, trust administration, payroll software, time tracking and certified payroll reporting all in one platform. Eliminating the duplication of work results in significant time savings and reduces the risk of errors.
The calculator considers your workforce size, average wage rate, and burden rates (workers' comp, general liability, payroll tax) which are the benefits you already offer. It compares that current amount to the maximum possible savings with a bona fide fringe trust. That calculated result is the total projected annual savings.
Yes. eBacon's bona fide fringe trust is built specifically for non-union, open shop contractors working certified payroll and prevailing wage jobs. It is not a union benefit fund so it is a structure any open shop contractor can utilize.
