What it is and who needs it.
What the PEO bond covers
A professional employer organization co-employs its clients' workers and handles their payroll, taxes, and workers' compensation. Ohio requires PEOs to register with the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation under R.C. Chapter 4125, and a registrant must demonstrate positive working capital.
If a PEO can't show the required working capital at registration or renewal, R.C. 4125.051 lets it cover the shortfall with security — a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or securities — in an amount sufficient to cover the deficit. So this bond is generally only required when there's a working-capital gap.
Separately, BWC may require a bond or letter of credit (assignable to BWC) not to exceed the premiums and assessments for the most recent policy year. The bond protects BWC and the PEO's worksite employees. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Enter the amount BWC names, and your exact premium — from $100 — appears at the application.
