HI PEO bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Before a professional employer organization contracts with a client company in Hawaii, it must post a surety bond under HRS 373L-3, filed with the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The amount is based on your prior year’s total payroll, and the price is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the PEO bond actually covers
Hawaii regulates professional employer organizations under HRS chapter 373L, administered by the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. No PEO may enter a professional employment agreement with a Hawaii client company unless it posts a surety bond (or an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit) under HRS 373L-3.
The bond indemnifies a client company that suffers loss from the PEO's nonperformance — for example, failing to pay the wages, taxes, or benefits it agreed to handle. It is a three-party arrangement among the PEO (principal), the surety, and the client companies the bond protects, and if the surety pays a claim, the PEO repays the surety.
The bond amount is based on your previous year's total payroll, so it scales as you grow. PEOs file IRS Form W-3 annually, and if total payroll moves into a different bond tier, you must obtain a new bond to match. Enter the amount your registration requires and we issue it — the application collects no credit information.
