Fidelity Bonding is a bonding service that helps at-risk job applicants get and keep a job. Fidelity bonding services reduce a business’s concerns about hiring at-risk job applicants who cannot be bonded through other sources. For this bonding, Union Insurance Group issues an insurance policy that protects your business against employee acts of dishonesty such as larceny, embezzlement, and theft.
Applicants eligible for fidelity bonding services include:
Ex-offenders, including individuals with records of arrest, probation, or any police record
A fidelity bond will not provide coverage for self-employed individuals looking for a performance bond, surety bond, or contract bond. Fidelity bonds cover only a specific employer-employee relationship, which is demonstrated by withholding income and social security taxes.
A fidelity bond does not provide coverage for poor workmanship, job injuries, or work accidents.
