What is this bond?

The IBEW Local No. 661 Fringe Benefits bond is a type of commercial surety bond that guarantees unionized employers will make their required benefit contributions. It provides financial assurance to the local union and its members that health, pension, and other agreed-upon welfare funds will be paid in full and on time. If the employer defaults on these payments, the bond can compensate the affected trust funds.

Who needs it?

Contractors and electrical businesses employing members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local No. 661 in Kansas typically need this bond. It is generally a prerequisite before an employer is permitted to hire union labor under a collective bargaining agreement.

Why is it required?

The obligee, usually the local union or its associated benefit trust funds, requires this bond to safeguard the livelihood and benefits of its electrical workers. It acts as a financial safety net, ensuring employers uphold the terms of their union contract rather than defaulting on critical benefit payments. Because union requirements vary, employers should verify exact bonding terms directly with IBEW Local 661.
