About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the employee leasing bond actually guarantees

An employee leasing company — a business that leases employees to client companies and can elect to report those employees under its own account for unemployment insurance purposes — must satisfy the Georgia Department of Labor that it can cover the resulting tax obligation. O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172 lets the Commissioner require a surety bond (or other approved financial security) in an amount needed to cover the company's potential unemployment tax liability.

It is a three-party arrangement: the employee leasing company (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Georgia Department of Labor (the obligee). If the company fails to pay its unemployment contributions, the Department can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, the company repays the surety. It protects the state's unemployment insurance fund, not the company itself.

The Department sets the required amount based on the company's reasonably expected potential tax liability — new companies commonly start at a base figure while established companies scale with recent taxable payroll. If a company cannot obtain the bond or approved security, the statute lets it instead report leased employees as employees of its client employers. Enter the amount your DOL filing specifies; we price the bond from a $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.

O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172Under O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172, the Commissioner of Labor shall require an employee leasing company, as defined in O.C.G.A. § 34-8-32, to post a surety bond or equivalent financial securities approved by the Commissioner in an amount needed to cover the total potential unemployment tax liability the company may reasonably be expected to incur. If the company cannot procure the bond or security, it may instead report its leased employees as employees of its client employers. Confirm your required amount on your Department of Labor account correspondence.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia employee leasing company bond?Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount the Department of Labor sets, with a $100 minimum. New companies commonly start with a $10,000 bond; established companies scale with taxable payroll. Enter the amount your DOL filing requires and your exact price appears at the application.
Why does Georgia require this bond?Because an employee leasing company can elect to report its leased employees for unemployment insurance under its own account, O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172 requires it to back that obligation with a bond so the state's unemployment insurance fund is covered if the company fails to pay.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a brief review — if a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that will not touch your score.
What if I can't get the bond?O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172 gives you an alternative: if you cannot procure the bond or approved security, you may instead report your leased employees as employees of your client employers rather than under your own account.
What amount should I enter?Enter the figure on your Department of Labor account correspondence. New companies typically start around $10,000; the Department recalculates established companies' amounts against recent taxable payroll, so check your most recent notice before applying.
