What it is and who needs it.
What the labor contractor bond actually covers
Oregon licenses labor contractors — businesses that recruit, supply, or employ workers for agriculture, forestry, and similar work — through the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). ORS 658.415 requires each applicant to maintain proof of financial ability to promptly pay employees’ wages and the other obligations the statute lists, and a surety bond is the most common way to show it.
The bond scales with the size of the workforce: generally $10,000 for a contractor with 20 or fewer employees and $30,000 for 21 or more, with a separate minimum (commonly $15,000) for a camp-operator indorsement. It pays valid claims for unpaid wages and related violations under ORS 658.415 and 658.419.
Long-tenured contractors with a clean record can have the amount reduced by the commissioner after several years of compliance. Whatever figure applies to your license, pricing is 2% of that amount, with a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
