**Apprenticeship obligations on CA Public Works Projects.
**How to read a determination letter.
**How to utilize the required fringe benefits to save payroll taxes & workers compensation expense.
**How to properly set-up accounting systems for overtime/double time.
**Annualization of fringe benefit expenses taken as credits against the total hourly rate.
