What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Rhode Island employee leasing company — a professional employer organization (PEO) — leases its workforce to client businesses and is responsible for the taxes, wages, and benefits of those covered employees. The bond is the same $50,000 figure whether the PEO is a corporation, LLC, partnership, or sole proprietor — only your entity type on the form changes.
Under R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-71.4, a PEO maintains a $50,000 surety bond securing payment of taxes, wages, benefits, and other entitlements due with respect to covered employees. The obligee is the State of Rhode Island, acting through the Division of Taxation.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. The statute also allows the bond requirement to be waived after the PEO has been registered and in good standing for at least two years, so ask the Division whether you still need it.
