(iii) the amount of payment (if any) for other reimbursed expenses; and

(iv) the fair market value of any other benefits provided to the employee by the employer, such as allowing personal use of a company vehicle by the employee and the value of meals and lodging directly furnished by the employer;

(d) the rate or rates of fringe benefits payments made in lieu of those required to be provided to each employee;

(e) total daily and weekly compensation paid to each employee;

(f) the daily and weekly hours worked by each employee, specified by actual calendar date; and if the employee worked in more than one craft or classification for which different rates were payable, the records shall show the number of hours in each day worked at the different crafts or classifications;
