What it is and who needs it.
What the employment agency bond actually covers
Oregon licenses private employment agencies through the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). Under ORS 658.075, each agency must maintain a $5,000 corporate surety bond (or an irrevocable letter of credit), payable to the people of the State of Oregon.
The bond is conditioned on the agency complying with the employment-agency law (ORS 658.005 to 658.245) and paying: all sums legally owed to anyone whose money the agency received, all damages from any willful misrepresentation, fraud, deceit, or other unlawful act by the agency or its agents, and all sums owed to the agency's own employees.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the statutory amount is $5,000, the flat 3% premium lands at our $275 minimum for most agencies. We issue the bond with no credit check.
