What this bond does
CSLB identifies a $100,000 LLC Employee/Worker Bond in addition to the $25,000 contractor bond. It protects employees or workers damaged by the LLC's failure to pay wages, interest on wages, fringe benefits or other covered contributions.
- Who needs it
- The limited liability company arranging the employee/worker security for its CSLB contractor license, using the LLC's licensed or applying legal identity.
- Who it protects
- Employees and workers receive the protection described by this licensing security. The requirement concerns the contractor LLC; forming an LLC in an unrelated business does not by itself establish this CSLB bond request.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Can my $25,000 contractor bond replace this?
CSLB lists the $100,000 employee/worker security in addition to the contractor bond. Keep the instruments distinct when preparing an LLC licensing application.
Do I need a union agreement to apply?
This offering concerns CSLB's LLC contractor licensing security. Prepare the LLC and license/application details rather than treating it as a particular union's contribution bond.
Has an amount or term already been selected here?
The option states no amount or term. Use CSLB's required employee/worker amount and your licensing instructions in the provider application, then check the issued instrument. Do not assume the website has already selected a term for you.
What happens after Purchase Now?
Propeller opens in a new tab. Provide the LLC and license request information first. After issuance and any required execution, follow CSLB's filing instructions and check receipt/acceptance. Applying for or buying a bond does not itself issue or reactivate a contractor license.
