2021 Profit Sharing 2021 PROFIT SHARING PAYOUT Under the provisions of the 2019 UAW-Ford Collective Bargaining Agreement, all eligible hourly employees will receive a Profit-Sharing payment on Thursday, March 10, 2022. Per the formula in the UAW-Ford Collective Bargaining Agreement, Ford’s North American pretax profits will generate approximately $7,377 per eligible employee on a full-year basis. Payments will be higher or lower, based upon employee compensated hours. IMPORTANT REMINDER – The Profit-Sharing payment will utilize your latest bonus election on myfordbenefits.com.(Cash payment, TESPHE payment, Ford Interest Advantage payment)The deadline to update your bonus election is February 25, 2022, 4 p.m. Eastern Time to ensure it is in time for the Profit-Sharing payment. If you do not have an existing bonus election on myfordbenefits.com or have elected 100% cash, you will receive all cash (check or direct deposit).Note: Cash payments are subject to withholding of Federal income taxes at the rate of 22%, Social Security taxes generally at the rate of 7.65%, required state and local taxes, and any other mandatory deductions (e.g., outstanding income withholding orders and/or child support obligations).Payment will be made on March 10, unless subject to any outstanding income withholding orders. To verify if you have made a bonus election, visit:myfordbenefits.com > Build Your Savings & Retirement > Savings Plan > Change Contributions > Bonus Electionor contact the National Employee Services Center (NESC) at 1-800-248-4444 Frequently asked questions… Q. Could some employees receive more than $7,377?Yes. Since individual payments are based upon eligible compensated hours, an employee who was compensated for overtime hours worked during the calendar year could receive more than $7,377. Q. Which U.S. employees get Profit Sharing?Regular full-time hourly employees in the U.S. are eligible to receive Profit Sharing amounts unless they have terminated their employment for a reason other than death, layoff or approved leave, retirement, or sale of the operation in which they were employed. Q. How is the Profit-Sharing amount calculated?It is calculated through a formula based on North America profits on a pre-tax basis and excluding “special items.”The formula generates a Profit-Sharing pool based on $1 for every $1 million of North America pre-tax profit and compensated hours by employee.Individual payments vary based upon the individual’s eligible compensated hours. Compensated hours are the number of hours for which employees are compensated. Hours for things like paid vacation time, paid holiday time, etc., are included in the calculation. Compensated hours include hours that an eligible employee receives pay in the Plan Year for: Base Pay Vacation Holiday Overtime (with each hour paid at premium rates to be counted as one hour) Bereavement Apprentice Training Jury Duty Short-term Military Duty Family Day Call-in Q. Can you give an example of how the formula works in practice?Number of Participants with ≥ 1,850 Compensated Hours = 20,172Number of Participants with < 1,850 Compensated Hours = 33,839Avg. Compensated Hours for Participants with < 1,850 Compensated Hours = 1,323.5Eligible Profit-Sharing Amount = $7,377Total Compensated Hours = 92.4 million Total Profit-Sharing Fund:(20,172 * $7,377) + (33,839 * $7,377 * (1,323.5 / 1,850)) = $327,395,712 Profit Share Per Compensated Hour:$327.4 million / 92.4 million hours = $3.54/hour Examples:Employee A – 2,400 Compensated Hours * $3.54 = $8,496Employee B – 1,850 Compensated Hours * $3.54 = $6,549Employee C – 800 Compensated Hours * $3.54 = $2,832 Note: This is an example and utilizes rounding. Final profit share per compensated hour may vary from this example. Q. How are union dues calculated?Gross profit-sharing amount multiplied by the union dues factor of 1.44%. Last Updated: 2/3/2022

News > 06/23/2022 INFORMATION BULLETIN JUNE 23, 2022 UNEMPLOYMENT ISSUES: Each time there is a layoff, we distribute a bulletin with step by step instructions on how to file unemployment. The bulletins are distributed in the plant, posted on our Facebook page and posted on our website, too; yet with each layoff, we are inundated with unemployment issues that in most cases could have been avoided if people had followed our instructions. Thanks to Ohio Rep Joe Miller, we were able to get assistance from the Assistant Director of ODJFS during the pandemic but now that the pandemic is “over”, we are losing his help. Moving forward, members must read the bulletin with the unemployment instructions and follow them step by step because if there is an error in your claim, you will be left to the mercy of your processing center. Without the help of the ODJFS, we are unable to help with most issues. Here are a few places you may need to contact with certain issues you’re having: CLAIMS QUESTIONS: Call the processing center and schedule a return call from the adjudication team. Alternative option: the “Submit a Question” button at unemploymenthelp.ohio.gov/employee. If you click it, you’ll be taken to an online form that allows you to provide detailed information about your issue(s). Submitted forms are directed to the adjudication queue for response. When they select the “submit a question online” that will generate a notification directly to a team member for follow-up. OH-ID ISSUES: Call 1-877-644-6562. IDENTITY AUDITS: Mail documentation to jfs.ui_respond@jfs.ohio.gov. Be sure your images are legible and in Microsoft Word or Paint format or they won’t be processed. If the address on your driver’s license differs from the address on your check, you will also need to submit a utility bill or another household bill with your new address. UNION HALL/BENEFITS OFFICE SCHEDULE DURING VACATION SHUTDOWN WEEKS: The union hall will be open throughout vacation shutdown, except for Monday, July 4th. The benefits office schedule will be closed the first week of shutdown and then open during regular business hours during the second week. Labor Relations’ schedule will be announced at a later date. 18th ANNUAL UAW Region 2-B Richard T. Gosser Scholarship GOLF CLASSIC InvitationaL: One foursome is needed from our membership to golf in the Richard T. Gosser Scholarship Invitational on Sunday, July 17th at the Thunderbird Hills Golf Club in Huron, Ohio. The entry fee for the outing is prepaid. Those interested must bring a list of their team members to the union hall (including team members’ addresses and phone numbers) or email your list to linda@uawlocal2000.org now through Monday, June 27th during normal business hours (8:30 AM to 12:00 PM (noon) and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM). A random drawing will be held on Monday, June 27th at 4:30 PM at the union hall for one team to represent Local 2000. Lost time or expenses will not be paid for attending. For further information please contact Jason Barlow at 419.893.4677. LOCAL 2000 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE ANNUAL LABOR DAY FAMILY CELEBRATION: This year’s event is already being planned for Sunday, September 4th. Volunteers are needed for setting up, working the food line and cleaning up after the event. The first 50 volunteers will receive a free commemorative t-shirt. If you are interested in volunteering for this year’s event, please contact Linda at the union hall at 440.934.3151, extension 0 or email linda@uawlocal2000.org to sign up (be sure to give your t-shirt size). You can also see Linda at the hall if you’d like to donate $5 to the event and have your name published in the event program as a sponsor. GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: Due to Executive Board action (in the absence of a quorum at June’s meeting), July and August General Membership Meetings are canceled. The next General Membership Meeting is Sunday, September 11th at 2:30 PM at UAW Local 2000, 3151 Abbe Road in Sheffield Village. Please attend and be informed.
