• Peak Week Ending Date is the week you had the largest number of employees in a classification.
• Hourly Rate is the dollar amount you paid employees per hour working in this classification.

Fringe Benefits are paid in addition to the hourly rate. Report only the costs or contributions incurred by your company, not by the employees.
