WI Carpenters Council wage bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A signatory carpentry contractor bound to the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters — successor to the former Wisconsin Carpenters union councils — posts this bond to guarantee that the wages and fringe-benefit contributions it owes under its collective bargaining agreement actually reach the Council's pension, health, vacation, training, and other benefit funds. It is a union contractual obligation, not a Wisconsin license requirement. Premiums cost 4% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the wage & fringe benefit bond actually guarantees
When a carpentry contractor signs on as signatory to the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters — formed from a series of mergers of the former Wisconsin Carpenters union councils and affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America — it agrees under its collective bargaining agreement to pay negotiated wages and fringe-benefit contributions into the Council's multiemployer trust funds for every hour its signatory crews work. Those funds include the Council's pension, health, vacation, training, labor-management cooperation, and working-dues funds.
The bond form itself, issued to the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters Benefit Funds as obligee, conditions the obligation on the contractor complying with all terms of its agreement relating to payment of contributions to those funds. If the contractor defaults, the Funds furnish the surety a verified statement of the amounts owing, and the surety's aggregate liability is capped at the bond's penal sum.
This is a private, contractual requirement — not a Wisconsin statute. There is no single fixed penal sum; the amount is the figure your agreement or the Council's fund office names, generally scaled to your covered payroll and expected contribution volume. Enter that figure; we price the bond from a $100 minimum, and the application includes only a soft-pull credit consent.
