About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the SAIF employer bond actually covers

SAIF is Oregon's state-chartered workers' compensation insurer. When SAIF covers an employer, it may require a premium deposit — a sum roughly equal to the premium that would be outstanding if coverage were cancelled, often up to about six months of premium.

Under ORS 656.552(2), SAIF may, in its discretion, accept a surety bond, letter of credit, or similar instrument in place of that cash deposit. The bond lets a corporation or LLC keep its cash working instead of parking it with SAIF, while still guaranteeing the premium SAIF is owed.

If the employer fails to pay premium owed, SAIF can recover against the bond up to its penal sum — and if the surety pays, the employer repays the surety. This page is the corporation/LLC version; partnerships use a separate form. We issue the amount SAIF set at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.

ORS 656.552 (SAIF deposit / bond)Under ORS 656.552, SAIF may require an employer (other than a political subdivision) to deposit and keep on deposit a sum equal to premiums due on estimated payroll for up to six months, and may, in its discretion, accept an employer's surety bond, letter of credit, or similar instrument in lieu of that deposit. Confirm the required amount with SAIF.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the SAIF employer bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount is the premium deposit SAIF set — generally up to about six months of your premium. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Why would I post a bond instead of a deposit? +
A cash deposit parks your money with SAIF. A surety bond satisfies the same requirement under ORS 656.552 while you keep your capital working — you pay the 3% premium instead of tying up the full deposit.
Is this the right SAIF bond for my business? +
This page is for a corporation or LLC. If you operate as a partnership, use the separate SAIF Employer Bond (Partnership) form — the obligation is the same, but the entity details differ.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
What does SAIF recover against the bond for? +
Unpaid workers’ comp premium you owe SAIF, up to the bond’s penal sum. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — the bond guarantees SAIF, it is not insurance for you.
