California Employment Agency Bond

An employment agency bond is required by the State of California as a prerequisite to legally operate an employment agency in California.

The bond is also for the benefit of any person damaged by the bonded principal’s violation of the applicable California rules and regulations or fraud, dishonesty, misstatement, misrepresentation, deceit, unlawful acts, omissions, or failure to provide the services of the employment agency in the performance of the job seeker’s contract.
