A New Jersey temporary help service firm that makes designated-classification placements must file a $200,000 surety bond under N.J.S.A. 34:8D-8, part of the Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights. Ours is $6,000 flat — 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your certification is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
A $200,000 bond runs through underwriting; most clear quickly, and you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours if anything else is needed. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file a copy with the Director (Division of Consumer Affairs) with your certification. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$200,000 bond × 3% = $6,000, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
New Jersey’s Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights (P.L. 2023, c.10) requires a temporary help service firm that makes designated-classification placements — the lower-wage occupational categories the law covers — to be certified and to post a $200,000 surety bond under N.J.S.A. 34:8D-8. The bond is a worker-protection guarantee.
It is filed in favor of, and payable to, the people of the State of New Jersey, for the benefit of any temporary laborer harmed by the firm’s failure to pay wages, interest on wages, or fringe benefits, or by a violation of the Act. A harmed worker (or the State) can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the firm repays the surety.
The amount is fixed at $200,000 by statute, and a copy of the bond must be filed with the Director. These certification provisions took effect August 5, 2023 and are administered by the Division of Consumer Affairs. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your certification stays continuous.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your $200,000 bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
