What this bond does
The official form secures the employer's Kentucky Wage and Hour obligations under KRS Chapter 337. It names legally due wages, including overtime and the vested vacation/sick pay described by the form; it is not an employee insurance policy.
- Who needs it
- The form describes an employer doing business in Kentucky for less than five consecutive years and engaged in construction or the severance, preparation or transportation of minerals. Match the actual Cabinet request; this page does not determine your individual applicability.
- Who it protects
- The Education and Labor Cabinet of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is the named obligee. This is statutory employer wage security, not a union welfare-fund undertaking or a project completion guarantee.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is four weeks the bond term?
No. The published form ties its aggregate sum to four weeks of gross payroll operating at full capacity. The recorded option is Continuous; four weeks is not its duration.
Does Continuous mean I can end it whenever work stops?
Follow the form's termination conditions, including its Commissioner-approved sworn cessation/paid-wages route. Obligations incurred while effective are not erased.
Is this a project payment or ERISA fidelity bond?
The Cabinet form concerns Kentucky employer wage-law obligations. Project payment security and protection against dishonest handling of plan assets serve different purposes.
