Kansas IBEW Local No. 661 Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Working under IBEW Local No. 661 in Kansas and required to post a Fringe Benefits Bond? This bond guarantees that your company will make all required contributions to the union's fringe benefit funds — think health, pension, and related programs — on behalf of your covered employees. It protects the union and its members if you fall short on those obligations. Getting bonded is a condition of doing business under this local agreement, and Bond Titan makes it fast.
Who Needs This Bond?
Electrical contractors, signatory employers, and any business entity that has signed a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 661 in Kansas will need this bond. If your company employs journeymen or apprentices covered by the Local 661 agreement, the union requires this financial guarantee before or alongside your work authorization. It also applies to out-of-state contractors who perform covered work within Local 661's jurisdiction.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect IBEW Local No. 661's fringe benefit funds from employer non-payment. Fringe contributions — including health insurance, pension, vacation, and training funds — are obligations tied to every hour worked by covered employees. If your company misses or underpays those contributions, the bond provides the funds to make the benefit trusts whole. It is a financial backstop that the union requires to protect its members.
When is it Required?
Before you begin performing work under the IBEW Local No. 661 collective bargaining agreement — or when renewing your signatory status — the union or its trust fund administrators will request proof of this bond. It is typically required at the point of signing or re-signing your labor agreement, and you may not be permitted to dispatch workers or begin a covered project without it in place. Have your bond ready before that step.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Kansas within the jurisdiction of IBEW Local No. 661. It does not satisfy requirements for other IBEW locals or other states. All covered work performed by employees under Local 661's agreement falls within the scope of this bond's protection.
