We require a certified check or you may wire your funds directly; otherwise, the order will be held for 5 business days. All payments MUST include a signed order form to be processed. If you wish to have the stamps returned to you via Federal Express or UPS, please include a completed air bill with your order. Please be sure to put the week ending date on the order form.
Stamps can only be purchased by contractors who have a signed collective bargaining agreement. If you do not have a signed agreement, please call the Local 14-14B Union Office at (718) 939-0600 for assistance. Contactors are highly encouraged to purchase Cash in Lieu stamps to avoid delays.
CASH IN LIEU CHECKS
Cash in Lieu checks received by participants must be sent in as soon as they are received. We will NOT process checks over six months old. All checks must include your name, social security number, the week ending date and the amount of hours worked. Any non-certified checks received after November 22nd, 2024 will not be included in your November redemption.
REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES OF STAMPS BY CONTRACTORS
Stamps can be refunded or exchanged at anytime. Please send a completed order form indicating the stamps being returned. For exchanges, please submit an additional order form specifying which stamps you are exchanging them for. Please allow additional time for all refunds and exchanges as they take time to process and therefore cannot be executed at the Stamp Window.
LOST OR STOLEN STAMPS
For Participants: If your stamps are lost or stolen, please call the contractor who issued them to you for replacement. It is important to always keep a photocopy of all stamps for your records.
For Contractors: If stamps are lost or stolen, they can be replaced. Please email or fax us a letter on your company letterhead with the stamp numbers that need to be replaced.
