What it is and who needs it.
What the Painters DC 58 wage & fringe benefits bond actually guarantees
The Painters District Council No. 58 wage-and-fringe-benefits bond is the security a signatory employer posts under Article XIII (Wage and Benefit Bond) of the council's working agreement — a condition of the union contract, not a state licensing statute. It guarantees payment of wages, administrative dues check-off, and contributions to the fringe benefit plans the working agreement makes obligatory.
It is a three-party arrangement: the contractor (principal), the surety carrier, and Painters District Council No. 58 or its fringe benefit funds (obligee), protecting covered painters, drywall finishers, and glaziers across the council's Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee jurisdiction. If an employer fails to pay wages or remit fund contributions, the council can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, the employer repays the surety.
The working agreement commonly sets the security at $15,000, with the option for an employer unable to post a bond of that size to instead pay 10% above the amounts due each month into the fringe benefit and dues check-off funds. Enter the amount your council specified; your premium is priced from a $100 minimum after a one-time credit consent that authorizes a soft pull only.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the district council. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to deliver to Painters District Council No. 58 per Article XIII. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
