Federal Bonding: A FREE job incentive!
Uncertain about hiring a worker? Federal Bonding is a FREE job incentive for employers to hire job seekers and retain at-risk employees. This program can be used to overcome the negative issues that an at-risk job seeker might have.
At-risk job seekers and employees include those who:
- Have little or no work history
- Receive public assistance
- Have bad credit
- Have declared bankruptcy
- Cannot secure employment without having insurance coverage
- Are ex-offenders
Federal Bonding highlights:
- Fidelity insurance provides for an employer to recoup losses incurred due to illegal acts of fraud, embezzlement, larceny, and theft committed against the employer by a bonded at-risk employee. This no-deductible insurance coverage begins the day the bonded employee starts work and ends after six months of employment.
- Insurance coverage can be for full- or part-time employment. Fidelity Bonds are not for entrepreneurial, court, professional or bail purposes. The sole purpose of these bonds is to guarantee personal integrity in the workplace.
