Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225 Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Carpenters and their families depend on fringe benefits being funded correctly and on time. This bond protects members of Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225 by guaranteeing that contributing employers fulfill their fringe benefit obligations — including health, pension, and other negotiated contributions. If an employer fails to make required payments, the bond stands behind those workers and the funds they are owed.
Who Needs This Bond?
Employers who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225 need this bond. Any contractor or construction business that employs carpenters covered under this local union's jurisdiction and is obligated to contribute to fringe benefit funds will be required to post it. This is a condition of doing union-contracted work under Local 225's agreements — not a general state license requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that the employer will make all required contributions to the fringe benefit funds designated by Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225. Fringe benefits typically include health insurance, pension contributions, vacation pay, and other negotiated fund payments. If the employer defaults on those contributions, the bond provides a financial remedy so that workers and the funds are not left holding the loss.
When is it Required?
Signing a labor agreement with Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225 is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before covered work begins, the employer must have this bond in place and on file with the union or its designated benefit funds. Operating under the agreement without the bond puts the employer in breach of its contractual obligations.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies to employers operating under the jurisdiction of Georgia Carpenters Local Union No. 225 throughout the state of Georgia. The obligation follows the labor agreement, not a specific geographic county or municipality. Any worksite covered by that agreement is within scope.
