How a fidelity bond works

Fidelity protection responds to covered dishonest acts. The form identifies whose money or property is protected, the covered persons, and the applicable limits.

What this bond does

This fidelity protection addresses covered employee theft from cleaning customers. RLI describes a conviction condition before coverage applies.

Who needs it
Illinois cleaning companies arranging customer-theft protection and explaining it to clients.
Who is protected
An unexplained shortage is not automatically a covered theft. The bond defines covered people, property, exclusions and proof requirements.

Choose from 2 options

Each option is a separate record. Where a term, bond amount, premium, or E&O limit is known, it is listed; match it to what your requirement asks for.

The coverage amount describes a limit of protection, not the price. Match the requested protection and covered persons to the actual fidelity form. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Set realistic expectations about theft claims

Describe the coverage as protection for defined dishonest acts. A missing item, accidental breakage and a complaint about cleaning quality raise different questions. This bond does not replace liability insurance or a performance guarantee.

Select Purchase Now for the term you want to open RLI in a new tab. Review the available limit, owner selection and dates, then provide the client's requested evidence after issuance.

Questions about this bond

Will the bond pay just because property is missing?

RLI describes a conviction requirement for employee dishonesty. All other conditions of the issued bond also apply.

Do both options cover the same period?

No. They are one-year and three-year choices. Review the actual effective dates and coverage terms in the selected application.

Are all cleaners included?

The issued definition controls. RLI asks about owners separately, and subcontractor coverage should not be assumed.
