About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Jersey treats temporary help services as regulated under the Consumer Fraud Act framework (N.J.S.A. 56:8-1.1), with the Division of Consumer Affairs’ Regulated Business Section overseeing the firms. A temporary help service firm supplies its own employees to clients on a temporary basis.

Each firm must, at its initial notification to the Attorney General and annually thereafter, post a $1,000 bond to secure compliance with the applicable rules. The bond is a small compliance guarantee standing behind the firm’s obligations to the state and to the people it serves.

The Attorney General may waive the bond for a firm with a net worth of $100,000 or more — so if your firm qualifies for the waiver, you may not need to post it at all. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the NJ temporary help service bond?The price is $100, set by our carrier for this specific bond — not a percentage of the $1,000 bond amount. It’s the same for every firm.

Do I pay the $1,000?No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Can the bond be waived?Yes — the Attorney General may waive the $1,000 bond for a temporary help service firm with a net worth of $100,000 or more. If your firm qualifies, confirm the waiver with Consumer Affairs; if not, this is the bond you post.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information to issue. It will not affect your score.

When does it renew?The bond is posted at your initial notification and annually thereafter. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your filing stays current.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
