Wisconsin North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters Wage & Fringe Benefit Bond
Overview
Signing a contract with the Wisconsin North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters means you must back your wage and fringe benefit obligations with a surety bond before work begins. This bond guarantees that covered carpenters receive every dollar of wages and fringe benefits owed under the applicable collective bargaining agreement. If you fail to pay, the Council has a financial guarantee to recover those amounts on behalf of affected workers. Buy this bond, get your proof of coverage, and keep your project moving.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor or employer who has entered into a labor agreement with the Wisconsin North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters, this bond is required of you. It applies to construction employers who hire union carpenters under the Council's jurisdiction anywhere in the state of Wisconsin. You are the principal on this bond — the party obligated to pay wages and fringe benefits as specified in your collective bargaining agreement. Without this bond in place, you cannot satisfy the Council's bonding requirement and may be barred from using union labor.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the wages and fringe benefit contributions owed to carpenters working under the Wisconsin North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters. Fringe benefits typically include health and welfare, pension, vacation, and training fund contributions required by the collective bargaining agreement. If a covered employer fails to pay those amounts, the bond provides the Council with a recovery mechanism to make workers and benefit funds whole. It is a contractual protection for labor — not a license bond issued by a government agency.
When is it Required?
This bond must be in force continuously for as long as you are signatory to the Council's labor agreement and employing covered carpenters. There is no fixed annual term tied to a state license cycle, so the obligation to maintain the bond does not expire on its own — it tracks your ongoing contractual relationship with the Council. If the bond is cancelled or lapses, you are in immediate violation of your agreement. Renew or replace the bond before any gap in coverage occurs.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Wisconsin bond tied to the jurisdiction of the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters, which covers construction labor activity across the state. It is not issued by a Wisconsin state agency, but rather required directly by the Council as a condition of your signatory agreement. The bond follows you wherever you perform covered work under the Council's jurisdiction within Wisconsin.
