What the PEO bond actually covers
Wisconsin regulates professional employer organizations under Wis. Stat. ch. 202, and a registering PEO files with the Department of Financial Institutions. As part of meeting the financial-responsibility test, DFI can require a surety bond in a form it approves.
The bond secures the payments a PEO makes on behalf of worksite employees — wages, salaries, employee benefits, workers compensation premiums, payroll taxes, and unemployment contributions — if the PEO or PEO group fails to pay them when due. It is established in favor of DFI, for the benefit of the state and any employee who isn't paid.
The required amount tracks your Wisconsin payroll exposure, so it varies by organization — and the statute lets DFI accept assurance from an approved assurance organization in place of certain requirements. Enter the figure DFI set on your registration, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
