What it is and who needs it.
What the wage bond actually secures
IBEW Local 369 represents electrical workers across Kentucky and several Indiana counties, chartered over a century ago and now more than 2,500 members strong. A contractor who signs a Local 369 collective-bargaining or letter-of-assent agreement takes on obligations to pay covered employees the negotiated wage and fringe-benefit package for every hour worked — and the local, or the fund office it works with, can require a surety bond as security that those wages and fringes get paid.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the signatory contractor), the surety carrier, and Local 369 or its funds (the obligee). If a covered employee is left unpaid and a claim is made, recovery runs against the bond up to its penal sum — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. This is a private, contract-based requirement, not a Kentucky statute.
The bond amount is whatever Local 369 or the fund office specifies in your signatory paperwork — there is no fixed statewide figure. Confirm the amount with the fund office before applying; we issue whatever the agreement requires, from $100.

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 fund office. Deliver the executed bond to the Electrical Workers Local 369 Benefit Funds Office to satisfy your signatory obligation. Wet-ink original 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.
