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 no credit check up to $50,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Labor. Submit the executed bond to satisfy your employee leasing company filing. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
