About this bond

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, we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.

ORS 658.415ORS 658.415 conditions an Oregon labor contractor license on proof of financial ability to promptly pay workers’ wages and other obligations, satisfied by a corporate surety bond (or cash deposit). The amount is generally $10,000 for 20 or fewer employees and $30,000 for 21 or more, with a minimum (commonly $15,000) for a camp-operator indorsement; the commissioner may reduce the amount for contractors with a multi-year history of compliance. Confirm the figure on your BOLI license.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Oregon labor contractor bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount is set by BOLI based on your workforce — generally $10,000 for 20 or fewer workers and $30,000 for 21 or more. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
Why does the amount change? +
It scales with how many workers you employ, because the bond backs their wages. ORS 658.415 generally sets $10,000 for 20 or fewer employees and $30,000 for 21 or more, with a separate minimum for a camp-operator indorsement.
Can the bond amount be reduced? +
Yes. The commissioner may reduce the amount for labor contractors with a multi-year record of compliance and no valid unpaid-wage claims. BOLI sets the reduced figure on your license; we re-issue at that amount.
What does the bond protect against? +
It pays valid claims for unpaid wages and the other obligations ORS 658.415 lists. If the surety pays a worker’s claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the labor contractor bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
