About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wage & welfare bond actually guarantees

When a contractor signs the collective bargaining agreement with Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local No. 2, the union trust funds — the wage, welfare, pension, and related benefit funds that receive the employer's per-hour contributions — can require the signatory contractor to post a bond backing those payments. It is a condition of the labor agreement, not a New York statute.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Local No. 2 trust funds (the obligee), with covered bricklayers and their benefit accounts as the protected parties. If a signatory contractor falls behind on the wage, welfare, or fringe-benefit contributions the agreement requires, the trust funds can claim against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond amount is set by the trust funds against your anticipated payroll under the agreement, and typically renews for the life of your signatory status.
