What this bond does

The bond functions as a financial safeguard to ensure that PEOs remain solvent and capable of meeting their obligations to employees and the state. It is specifically utilized when a PEO applicant cannot demonstrate positive working capital as defined by generally accepted accounting principles during the registration or renewal process with the Office of the Labor Commissioner.

Who needs it
This requirement applies to Professional Employer Organizations seeking initial licensure or renewal in the State of Nevada. PEOs that do not meet the mandated working capital thresholds through their audited financial statements must provide this bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or securities to secure their financial commitments.
Who it protects
The bond protects the State of Nevada and the PEO's employees by securing the payment of required taxes, wages, benefits, and other financial entitlements. It provides recourse in the event the PEO fails to meet these obligations, functioning as an assurance of financial responsibility.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. 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.

Licensing and Financial Compliance

Professional Employer Organizations in Nevada must register with the Office of the Labor Commissioner. As part of this application, entities must submit financial documentation to verify their fiscal stability, including audited financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant.

If an applicant fails to demonstrate the required positive working capital, they must file a bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or securities. The minimum value of this security must equal the calculated maximum deficiency in working capital for the covered period, plus an additional $100,000.

Securing Your Bond

To secure the bond, applicants should work with a licensed surety provider. The provider must understand the specific requirements set forth by Nevada law regarding PEO financial security, as the bond must be held by a designated depository institution to secure payment of employee-related liabilities.

Applicants must ensure their entire registration packet, including the bond or equivalent financial security, is organized according to the Labor Commissioner’s checklist. Incomplete applications, including those missing financial certifications or signatures, will be returned and may cause delays in obtaining or renewing the PEO license.

Submission and Maintenance

The completed application packet, including the bond and all supporting documentation such as proof of workers' compensation insurance and business licensing, must be mailed to the Office of the Labor Commissioner in Carson City. Applicants are responsible for keeping all records updated and reporting any changes in information within 30 days.

Renewal of the PEO license is required annually by September 30. License holders must ensure that their financial statements and any necessary bonds remain current and accurate to maintain their certificate of registration and avoid administrative penalties or license revocation.
