Wisconsin Statutes On
Delinquent Payments
There have been many inquiries on the procedures followed in various areas with respect to the collection of delinquent welfare and pension fund contributions. Here are some of the methods followed in Wisconsin.
The 1961 legislature enacted Sec. 103.86, Wisconsin Statutes, which reads as follows:
103.86 EMPLOYEE WELFARE FUNDS: DEFAULT IN PAYMENTS.
(1) Any employer who promises in writing to make payments to an employee welfare fund, either by contract with an individual employee by a collective bargaining agreement or by agreement with an employee welfare fund, and who fails to make such payments within 6 weeks after they become due and payable and after having been notified in writing of his failure to make the required payments, shall be fined not more than $200.
(2) This section shall not apply where the failure to make payments is caused by act of God, proceedings in bankruptcy, orders or process of any court of competent jurisdiction, or circumstances over which the employer has no control."
This statutory provision permits prosecution by the various county district attorneys in the event an employer has become delinquent in the payment of employee welfare fund contributions, as set forth in the statute.
