About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

New Hampshire licenses employee leasing companies (PEOs) through the Department of Labor under RSA 277-B. A licensee must demonstrate financial responsibility — and RSA 277-B:6 lets a company that can't show $100,000 of audited working capital instead post a $100,000 surety bond (or letter of credit or securities) as approved by the commissioner.

The bond guarantees payment of employee wages and benefits if the leasing company fails in that responsibility. It protects the leased workers and the state, standing behind the payroll and benefit obligations the PEO takes on for its client companies.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For a company whose financials don't show positive working capital, RSA 277-B:6 raises the amount to $100,000 plus the working-capital deficit; confirm your exact figure with the Department of Labor and we'll match it.

RSA 277-B:6New Hampshire RSA 277-B:6 conditions an employee leasing company license on financial assurances — either audited minimum working capital of $100,000, or, as approved by the commissioner, a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or securities with a minimum value of $100,000 filed with the Department of Labor, guaranteeing payment of employee wages and benefits. For a company without positive working capital, the amount is $100,000 plus the working-capital deficit. Confirm your required amount with the Department of Labor.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $100,000? +
No. You pay $3,000 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability to leased employees and the state; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Do all PEOs need this bond? +
Only as an alternative to showing $100,000 of audited working capital. RSA 277-B:6 lets a company post a $100,000 bond (or letter of credit or securities) instead — so the bond is the common path for companies that prefer not to tie up the capital.
What does the bond guarantee? +
Payment of employee wages and benefits if the leasing company fails in that responsibility. It protects the leased workers and the state — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
My financials show a working-capital deficit — is the bond still $100,000? +
No. Under RSA 277-B:6, a company without positive working capital must bond $100,000 plus the amount of the deficit. Send us your figure and we issue the bond at that higher amount, still at a flat 3%.
