What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Illinois regulates staffing agencies under the Day and Temporary Labor Services Act (820 ILCS 175), administered by the Department of Labor's Fair Labor Standards Division. An agency that places day or temporary laborers must register with the Department and file a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of registration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Illinois (the obligee), with day and temporary laborers as the protected parties. The bond stands behind your compliance with the Act — including paying the wages your workers are owed.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and your registration can be affected — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
