New York IBEW Local No. 1249 Insurance Fund Bond
Overview
Required to work under the IBEW Local No. 1249 collective bargaining agreement in New York? This bond is your employer-side financial guarantee to the IBEW Local No. 1249 Insurance Fund. It assures the fund that you will make all required benefit contributions — wages, health, welfare, and related benefits — on behalf of your covered employees. Without it, you cannot legally perform work under this union agreement.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your company has signed a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 1249 and now must post this bond before putting union electricians to work. Electrical contractors and signatory employers throughout New York who are obligated to the IBEW Local No. 1249 Insurance Fund must carry this bond. It is a direct requirement of your union agreement, not a state license — the fund itself is the obligee demanding the financial protection. If you have been notified by the fund or your union rep that a bond is required, this is the one you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the IBEW Local No. 1249 Insurance Fund from financial loss caused by a signatory employer failing to submit required benefit contributions. If your company falls behind on health, welfare, or other fund payments owed under the collective bargaining agreement, the bond gives the fund a mechanism to recover those unpaid amounts. It is not a payment substitute — it is a guarantee that the fund will be made whole if you default on your contribution obligations.
When is it Required?
Before a single covered employee reports to a jobsite, this bond must already be in place and accepted by the IBEW Local No. 1249 Insurance Fund. The bond requirement is triggered the moment you become a signatory employer under the collective bargaining agreement — not after your first payroll cycle. Waiting until work has already started puts you in breach of your agreement. Get bonded now so your crews can work without interruption.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in New York and is specifically tied to the jurisdiction of IBEW Local No. 1249 and its associated insurance fund. It covers your obligations as a signatory employer operating under that local's collective bargaining agreement, wherever covered work is performed in New York under the agreement. This is a union-mandated bond, not a state agency license requirement.
