The Oregon Employment Department participates in the Federal Bonding Program.
Employers can receive $5,000 fidelity bonds, free of charge, as an incentive to hire job seekers that do not qualify for commercial fidelity bonds. This program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, has a 99% success rate nationwide, as only one percent of the workers receiving bonds have proven to be dishonest.
