FAQs
What is a Professional Employer Organization Bond?
A guarantee that you will play by the rules and perform your duties as a PEO licensee.
Three party instrument by which:
- One party – SURETY
- Guarantees that a second party – PRINCIPAL
- Will perform an obligation or duty owed to a 3rd party – OBLIGEE
KEY POINT – the Surety guarantees that a PEO will abide by State laws.
What is a Certified Professional Employer Organization Bond?
To become and remain certified under the CPEO Program, CPEOs must meet tax status, background, experience, location, financial reporting, other requirements described in the statute and regulations, and a CPEO surety bond.
Within 30 days of receiving notification from the IRS, the PEO seeking certification must post a CPEO Bond guaranteeing the payment of federal employment taxes using Form 14751, Certified Professional Employer Organization Surety Bond, in the amount described in §301.7705-2T(g)(2).
As prescribed by §301.7705-2T(g)(2)(i), the amount of the bond must be the greater of 5% of the CPEO’s liability under section 3511 of the Code during the preceding calendar year (up to $1 million) or $50,000.
Is a Surety Bond an insurance policy?
No. A Surety Bond is a form of credit extended to you, and it is not insurance. In traditional insurance, the risk is transferred to the insurance company. In suretyship, the risk remains with the Principal. You are the risk. Again, the protection of the bond is for the Obligee.
Who does a Professional Employer Organization Bond protect?
The intent of the bond is to protect the Obligee/State and NOT the Principal/PEO.
