Georgia Employee Leasing Company Bond

How much does an employee leasing company bond cost in Georgia?

The Georgia Department of Labor mandates that employee leasing companies post surety bonds in varying amounts prior to conducting business. A bond with a required bond amount of $1,000 to $10,000 can be instantly issued for just $100. A bond with a required amount of $10,001 to $200,000 is subject to underwriting, meaning an underwriter will review the applicant's credit history. The bond covers a minimum of 1 calendar year, as well as the remainder of the calendar year in which it is issued. If the employee leasing company is new and has no previous employment history, the required bond amount is $10,000. Applicants must verify their required bond amount with the state prior to bonding.

Why do I need this bond?

Employee leasing company bonds (also called professional employer organization bonds) in Georgia are put in place to ensure that principals (employee leasing companies) comply with all requirements and regulations of the Employment Security Law, including filing prompt and accurate reports. If the principal fails to conduct business ethically and in accordance with the law, the bond protects harmed parties from resulting financial loss up to the full bond amount. The principal is responsible for reimbursing the surety for any damages paid out.

What’s the fine print?

The Georgia Department of Labor requires employee leasing companies to submit a surety bond. These bonds are valid for the remainder of the calendar year in which they are issued, as well as for 1 additional calendar year. Once the bond expires, the company must renew the bond in order for operations to continue.
