Printed Name
work or ☐ the severance, production or transportation of minerals, understand that I am required by the Wage Payment and
Collection Act, W. Va. Code §21-5-14, to furnish a wage bond.
I understand that as long as I honor my statutory responsibility to pay employee wages and fringe benefits when
they are due, the Division of Labor will not make a demand upon the wage bond. If I default or otherwise fail to pay
employee wages and fringe benefits as required by the Wage Payment and Collection Act, I further understand that the
Division of Labor will make a demand on the Surety for payment under the bond. I hereby expressly authorize the Division
of Labor to use as much of the surety bond proceeds as necessary to pay employee wages and fringe benefits that are due
and owing.
I also understand that, if I default on my obligation to pay employee wages and fringe benefits, the Surety has the
right to take action against me to recover the amount of wages and fringe benefits it has paid to the Division of Labor on my
behalf.
