Washington Farm Labor Contractors Bond, also known as a surety bond, is a type of financial guarantee that protects the state of Washington from any potential losses that may arise due to a farm labor contractor’s failure to comply with the regulations of the Farm Labor Contractors Act. This bond is required by the state for all farm labor contractors that are hired to transport, house, feed, or supply workers to farms in Washington. There are two types of Washington Farm Labor Contractors Bond: a $10,000 bond and a $20,000 bond. The $10,000 bond covers basic labor contracting obligations, while the $20,000 bond covers more extensive obligations such as providing workers’ compensation insurance. Both bonds must be obtained from an approved surety company and must be in effect for at least one year.
