(b) Once the initial expiration date in the collective bargaining agreements that were in place in 2010 has occurred, wages and benefits for all CBA employees will subsequently be adjusted based on annual average changes in the Consumer Price Index using the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Private Industry Employment Cost Index for Service-Producing Industries (seasonally adjusted, total compensation, series no. ecs12102i). 3. Workers' compensation insurance: the adjustment factor will be based on the average annual change to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Private Industry Employment Cost Index for Total All workers (not seasonally adjusted, total benefits, series no. CIU2030000000000A). 4. Payroll taxes: an effective payroll tax rate will be established in Rate Year One calculated from Contractor's Cost Forms and applied to CBA wages to calculate payroll tax expense (Payroll Taxes divided by CBA wages). The payroll taxes adjustment factor will be based on changes in federal Social Security, Medicare, and state payroll tax rates effective in the Rate Year. Contractor will submit to SBWMA for approval of any adjustment to the effective payroll tax rate by July 1. If approved, the adjustment factor will be applied to the effective tax rate and the adjusted effective tax rate will then be used to calculate payroll tax expense.
