Introduction to California’s $100,000 LLC/Employee Worker Bond
Hi, this is Mike with Fusco Orsini & Associates. We offer a lot of help with companies’ bonding programs. Now, in California, if you are a California contractor, you understand the need to post a $25,000 contractor bond with the CSLB to keep your license active and remain in good standing. But did you know that if you’re an LLC and have an entity filed with the CSLB, you must carry an additional $100,000 LLC employee worker bond?
Why do I need a $100,000 bond?
California contractors are used to buying and posting their $25,000 CSLB bond. It typically ranges from one to five years in length. The premiums are relatively inexpensive. It takes a simple credit check, and the bond company provides quick approval and manageable costs. But suppose you have an LLC or consider filing an LLC and contracting in the state of California. In that case, you must also post an additional $100,000 LLC employee worker bond with the CSLB. Now, the purpose of the bond is to protect the LLC’s employees or workers for unpaid wages, interest on wages, fringe benefits, or other contributions. And this bond requires additional underwriting. It’s not as simple as a credit check. The premiums are typically much higher than the $25,000 contractor license bond.
