Unions, guilds, & health plans

Adding information about unions, guilds, and agreements involved in your project ensures that worker payments are accurate and benefits, including pension and health contributions, are properly handled.

If you don’t know which union and guilds you’ll be working with, you can add the information anytime during the run of the project. However, you must add the relevant information to your project before onboarding workers from a union or guild.
