Who Does a Payment Bond Protect?
A Payment Bond is a surety guarantee that ensures subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers get paid in full and on time for the work they perform or materials they provide on a construction project. It protects these parties from non-payment or contractor defaults, ensuring they have a financial safety net if the contractor fails to meet payment obligations. Payment bonds are especially important for public works projects, where mechanics liens cannot be filed against government-owned property.
Project owners and general contractors require Payment Bonds to prevent financial disputes, work stoppages, and liens from unpaid subcontractors or suppliers. Without a payment bond, disputes over non-payment can delay projects, lead to legal battles, and increase costs for owners. Many public and private projects require payment bonds as a standard part of the contract to ensure that all workers and vendors involved in the project receive their rightful compensation.
Performance Bonds and Payment Bonds go hand in hand—while a Performance Bond guarantees the contractor completes the project, a Payment Bond guarantees that all subcontractors and suppliers are paid. Because of this, payment bonds are almost always issued alongside performance bonds. At JRG Surety, when a contractor secures a Performance Bond, the Payment Bond is included at no additional cost, ensuring full project protection for both performance and financial obligations.

A Payment Bond is a surety guarantee that ensures all subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers on a construction project are paid in full for their work and materials.

Payment Bonds are typically required on public works projects where subcontractors and suppliers cannot file a mechanics lien against government property. Many private project owners and general contractors also require payment bonds to protect against non-payment issues that could disrupt a project.
