Purpose
Contractors who do not contribute to an approved apprenticeship program (i.e. Non-Union contractors) must submit their contributions (training fees) to the California Apprenticeship Council (“CAC”) using the Form CAC-2 on a monthly basis. Union contractors submit training fees to their appropriate union trust fund and therefore receive “full” credit in the amount of those contributions. The CAC Form 2 should be mailed to:
California Apprenticeship Council (CAC)
PO Box 420603
San Francisco, CA 94142-0603
“Training” is a fringe benefit that is not paid to the worker. Instead, this fee is sent to the CAC to fund statewide apprenticeship programs to ensure the availability of apprentices in the construction industry. Non-union contractors are required to pay training fees to the CAC by the 15 th of each month for work performed during the proceeding month, during the duration of the project. A copy of the completed form and check must be submitted.
