MAKING EMPLOYMENT EASIER
FEDERAL BONDING
Planning is key: How Federal Bonds can make employment easier:
Federal bonds help alleviate hesitancy by employers to hire employees considered "at-risk" or hard-to-place due to things such as judicial involvement,
substance abuse recovery, poor credit, lack of work history or dishonorable discharge.
How to obtain a federal bond:
- Enroll in your local Department of Labor - American Job Center
- Bonds are issued for the first 6 months of employment
- Bonds are typically issued for $5,000 of fidelity insurance coverage
- There is no cost for the bond to the employer or employee
- Federal Bonds are processed by the DEW State Federal Bonding Coordinator
- They automatically terminate after 6 months

Our unique staffing model is offered at the low rate of 45% and is designed to offer our Employer Partners a trial period with their new hire.
