New York IBEW Local No. 363 Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
New York's IBEW Local No. 363 requires certain employers to post this Fringe Benefits Bond before they can work under a union agreement. It guarantees that covered workers will receive every health, pension, vacation, and other fringe benefit contribution the collective bargaining agreement mandates. If an employer fails to make those payments, the bond gives the union a direct financial remedy. Bond Titan makes it fast to get bonded and get back to work.
Who Needs This Bond?
Electrical contractors, subcontractors, and other signatory employers who have signed a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 363 are the primary applicants for this bond. If your company hires journeymen or apprentices covered by Local 363's jurisdiction and your CBA requires a fringe benefits bond, this is the bond you need. Any employer entering or renewing a signatory agreement with Local 363 should expect to provide this bond as part of the credentialing process.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects IBEW Local No. 363 and its benefit funds from unpaid employer contributions. When a signatory employer fails to remit health, pension, or other fringe benefit payments as required by the collective bargaining agreement, the union or its trustees can make a claim against the bond. The bond holds the employer financially accountable for every dollar owed to covered workers' benefit funds. It is not insurance for the employer — it is a guarantee to the union that contributions will be made.
When is it Required?
Before signing or renewing a collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local No. 363, the union will request proof of this bond. The requirement is triggered at the point of executing the signatory agreement, not after work has already begun. Employers bidding on union jobs or adding Local 363-represented workers to their payroll should secure this bond before finalizing any agreement with the local.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies to employers operating under IBEW Local No. 363's jurisdiction, which covers portions of New York State served by that local. It is a union-specific requirement tied directly to Local 363's collective bargaining agreement, not a state license or permit. Work performed under any other IBEW local's agreement requires a separate bond issued to that local.
