What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually guarantees
Missouri administers unemployment insurance through the Division of Employment Security under the Employment Security Law, RSMo Chapter 288. Most employers simply pay quarterly contributions, but some — nonprofit and governmental employers electing reimbursement, and employee-leasing companies — can be required to post security so the trust fund is protected.
For a leasing employer, the statute allows a surety bond in an amount equal to the contributions or payments in lieu of contributions for which the unit was liable in the last calendar year, or $100,000, whichever is greater, to ensure prompt payment of contributions, interest, penalties and surcharges. The exact figure comes from the division.
The bond runs to the State of Missouri for the benefit of the unemployment compensation fund — if you fail to remit what you owe, the division can recover against it, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the division set, priced at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one quick soft credit check.
