How Does a Kansas Private Employment Agency Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, an employment agency bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the employment agency filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kansas Department of Labor requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding Kansas Statutes Chapter 44, Article 4.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your employment agency bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
