About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the employment agency bond actually covers

New Jersey licenses employment agencies under the Employment and Personnel Services Act (N.J.S.A. 34:8-43 et seq.), administered by the Division of Consumer Affairs. The license is conditioned on a surety bond standing behind the agency’s compliance with the Act and its honest handling of the fees job seekers and employers pay.

The standard bond amount is $10,000 under N.J.A.C. 13:45B-2.3, filed with the Division of Consumer Affairs. The bond protects job seekers and clients who are harmed by an agency’s violation of the Act — for example, collecting a fee and failing to perform.

If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you, it is a guarantee that backs your license. Enter the amount your license requires, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
