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 your exact premium appears — pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $50,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Consumer Affairs. File the executed bond with the Division of Consumer Affairs as part of your employment agency license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
