Georgia requires an employee leasing company that reports its leased employees for unemployment insurance purposes to post a surety bond with the Department of Labor under O.C.G.A. § 34-8-172, covering the potential unemployment tax liability the Commissioner determines the company could reasonably incur. Premiums cost 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and your exact price appears at the application.
















No long underwriting queue for the standard employee leasing bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Department of Labor. Here is the whole thing:
Your company details, Georgia DOL account number, the bond amount the Department set, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Larger amounts may get a brief review — if a check ever runs, it is a soft pull that will not touch your score.
Submit the executed bond to satisfy your employee leasing company filing. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including your Georgia DOL account number and county. The application collects no credit information, and your price — from a $100 minimum — is set at application.
