Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds Wage and Fringe Benefits Bond
Overview
Get bonded and demonstrate to the Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds that your company will pay every dollar of wages and fringe benefits owed under your collective bargaining agreement. This bond protects the Funds — covering health, pension, annuity, and related benefit contributions — if you fail to meet those obligations. Contractors who work under Pennsylvania carpenters union agreements need this bond in place before the Funds will accept their participation. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get covered online.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor or employer operating under a collective bargaining agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters in Pennsylvania, this bond is required by the Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds. It applies to any signatory employer obligated to remit wage and fringe benefit contributions on behalf of union carpenters. If you have received a notice from the Funds or your CBA requires it as a condition of continued participation, you are in the right place. This is not a state license bond — it is a labor-trust obligation specific to your agreement with the Funds.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that you, as the employer, will fully and timely pay all wages and fringe benefit contributions required under your carpenters union agreement. The Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds are the obligee — meaning they are the protected party if you default on those payments. If you fail to remit contributions for health, pension, annuity, or other fund obligations, the Funds can make a claim against this bond to recover what is owed. The bond is a financial assurance mechanism, not insurance for you — it holds your obligations in place.
When is it Required?
This bond may need to be renewed or replaced on a schedule set by the Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds, so do not let it lapse between contract periods. Employers are typically required to secure the bond before beginning work under a new or continuing carpenters CBA in Pennsylvania. If the Funds notify you of a bonding requirement as part of an audit, delinquency review, or new signatory enrollment, that notice is your trigger to act immediately. Delays in securing the bond can result in suspension from the agreement or further action by the Funds.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide in Pennsylvania and is tied specifically to obligations owed to the Pennsylvania Carpenters Combined Funds. It is not a local permit bond or a state agency license — it is a union trust fund requirement that follows wherever your carpenters CBA work takes you within the state. Any Pennsylvania employer signed to a carpenters collective bargaining agreement is subject to this bonding requirement regardless of which county or region the work is performed in.
