Payment Bonds
Payment bonds guarantee the contractor’s obligation to pay subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers required by the project’s contract. Essentially, the contractor uses a payment bond to guarantee that they’ll make all payments required even if they default. Public construction jobs can’t place liens, so a payment bond protects labor or materials suppliers on a public job.
