Multiemployer Plans. Certain of MasTec’s subsidiaries contribute amounts to multiemployer pension and other multiemployer benefit plans and trusts (“MEPPs”). Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts per hour per employee for employees covered under these plans. Multiemployer plan contribution rates are determined annually and assessed on a “pay-as-you-go” basis based on union employee payrolls. Union payrolls cannot be determined for future periods because the number of union employees employed at a given time, and the plans in which they participate, vary depending upon the location and number of ongoing projects and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. Total contributions to multiemployer plans and the related number of employees covered by these plans for the periods indicated were as follows:

For the Three Months Ended March 31:
20226,601 6,672 $17.0 $13.2 $30.2 
20212,412 2,532 $22.5 $2.2 $24.7 
The fluctuations in the number of employees covered under multiemployer plans and related contributions in the table above related primarily to the timing of activity for the Company’s union resource-based projects. For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, multiemployer plan activity was driven primarily by acquisition-related project work within the Company’s Power Delivery operations, whereas for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, activity was driven primarily by projects within the Company’s Oil and Gas operations.
