Employment Agency or Counseling Service Bonds

The State of California Secretary of State requires an Employment Agency Surety Bond pursuant to provisions of Section 1812.503 of the California Civil Code. The surety bond must be in the penal sum (i.e. bond amount) of $3,000. The bond ensures that the principal (or its representative or agent) pay all sums due to any individual or group of individuals as required, and pays all damages to any person resulting from unlawful acts or omissions of the principal while acting within the scope of their employment. Further, the surety bond requires the bonded principal to comply with the provisions of Title 2.91 (commencing with Section 1812.500), Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code of the State of California.
