Dear Local 714 Employers,

 You should have received one or more emails regarding the upcoming launch of our new employer portal, EmployerXG. This platform will allow you to electronically submit your fringe payroll reports to our office. In the near future, it will also support online payments. Please note that the payment functionality is currently inactive while our vendor completes software upgrades.

 To support a smooth transition, we will be hosting on-site training sessions at the Local Union Hall offices in both Bismarck and Minot on the following dates:

• Bismarck: November 12, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
• Minot: November 13, 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM & 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

 We encourage you to send the individual(s) responsible for your company’s payroll reporting to one of these sessions. Each session will include a walkthrough of the portal, a Q&A segment, and personalized assistance with report submission.

 Your primary contact for your company should have received an email containing your unique invitation code and detailed instructions for accessing and using the portal. Please keep an eye on your inbox for this important information.

 Please note: Use of the EmployerXG portal will become mandatory for all employers submitting to the Dakotas. A formal online reporting and payment policy will be issued in the first quarter of next year.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We look forward to seeing you or your designated representative at one of the training sessions.

The 2026 contract submission form is now available to fill out. Please fill out the form if there is something you would like to suggest for the next contract.

Nik Larson with Main Electric Construction was selected by the Minot Area Chamber EDC as one of the August 2025 Eagle Award Recipients.

“Nik came and did some work for me and he went absolutely above and beyond. He was so considerate and more than willing to explain everything he was doing just because I was curious and interested in how it works! He was thorough and I never felt like he would rather be doing something else or that my particular issue was silly. Highly recommend this young man with a shining personality!” Congratulations Nik!
