About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Carpenters Local 225 fringe benefits bond actually guarantees

A fringe benefits bond — sometimes called a wage-and-welfare bond — is the financial guarantee a union local requires of a signatory contractor: a contractor bound by a collective bargaining agreement to employ covered carpenters. It backs the contractor’s obligation to pay wages and to make timely, complete contributions to the union’s fringe benefit trust funds — typically health, pension, and welfare.

It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (the principal), the surety carrier, and Carpenters Local Union No. 225 or its fringe benefit fund (the obligee), protecting the covered workers whose benefits depend on those contributions actually arriving. If a signatory contractor falls short, the union can claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety. This is a private contractual requirement created by the collective bargaining agreement — not a Georgia statute.

The bond amount is set by the collective bargaining agreement rather than a fixed statutory figure, and can vary with the size of a contractor’s workforce or the license or scope of work involved. Enter the amount your agreement or Local 225 quoted you; premiums are priced from a $100 minimum after a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

FAQ

Common questions.

What amount should I enter?Enter the bond amount your collective bargaining agreement or Local 225 quoted you. There is no fixed statutory figure — the amount is negotiated as part of the agreement and can vary with your workforce size. If you are unsure, ask the union or your fringe benefit fund administrator.

What does the bond guarantee?It guarantees that you, as a signatory contractor, pay covered carpenters’ wages and make timely, complete contributions to the union’s fringe benefit funds — health, pension, and welfare. If you fall short, Local 225 can claim against the bond, and you would repay the surety for any claim it pays.

Where do I file it?File your executed bond and power of attorney with Carpenters Local Union No. 225 or its fringe benefit fund administrator, whichever your collective bargaining agreement designates. Both arrive by email, ready to submit.

Do I pay the full bond amount?No. You pay a one-time premium — 2.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — not the bond amount itself. The bond amount is the ceiling the union could claim against, not a fee you pay.

Is there a credit check?Yes — a quick soft credit check may apply, never a hard inquiry, with no impact on your score. Your premium itself is priced at 2.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
