What it is and who needs it.
What the fringe benefits bond actually covers
A union fringe benefits bond is a contractual guarantee, not a licensing bond. When an electrical contracting employer signs on as a signatory with IBEW Local Union No. 226, headquartered in Topeka and covering eastern Kansas, the local's agreement can condition employment of its members on the employer posting a bond that stands behind the health & welfare, pension, annuity, and training fund contributions the agreement obligates the employer to remit for its covered electricians.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and IBEW Local No. 226 (the obligee), with the local's electricians and its benefit trusts as the protected parties. If a signatory employer falls behind on covered fringe contributions, the local or its trust funds can make a claim against the bond up to its face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the bond amount your signatory agreement specifies and your exact price — 4% of that amount, $100 minimum — appears at the application.
