What this bond does
BOLI's Labor Contractor Bond, WH-157, concerns full payment of employee wage claims and specified advances made to or on behalf of the contractor. This is not inherently a union benefit-fund request.
- Who needs it
- The labor contractor license applicant whose BOLI request calls for this financial-responsibility instrument. Identify the actual license kind and legal applicant before completing the bond application.
- Who it protects
- WH-157 names the Commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries as obligee. Its advance-payment condition concerns sums due to the construction property owner, agricultural grower/producer or timber-land owner/lessee for advances made to or on behalf of the contractor.

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
Is this only a union fringe-contribution bond?
No. BOLI's WH-157 addresses wage claims and the specified advances. Do not supply an assumed union or benefit fund instead of the Commissioner named by that form.
Can I assume a reduction or exemption?
The packet describes conditional routes, not automatic eligibility. Use the current Licensing Unit instructions for your license and applicant; this page does not determine qualification.
Is this a project payment bond or ERISA fidelity coverage?
Those concern different undertakings. BOLI financial responsibility is also distinct from employee insurance; the bond application does not replace other required licensing documents.
How do I start?
