How Does a California Garment Industry Bond Work? 

A garment industry bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the garment factory owner(s) filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Garment Worker Protection Act and California wage laws. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your garment industry bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
