About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the New Jersey temp firm bond? +
The premium is $6,000 — a flat 3% of the fixed $200,000 bond amount, the same for every firm. The $200,000 is set by statute, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $200,000? +
No. You pay $6,000. The $200,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made for unpaid wages or benefits; it’s not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Which firms need this bond? +

What does the bond protect? +
Temporary laborers. It is payable to the people of New Jersey for the benefit of workers harmed by the firm’s failure to pay wages, interest on wages, or fringe benefits, or by a violation of the Act.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. A $200,000 bond runs through underwriting, so the pull informs approval. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
