What this bond does
The janitorial bond addresses covered employee dishonesty involving customer money or property during cleaning work. RLI’s application says an employee must be convicted of the alleged dishonesty before coverage applies.
- Who needs it
- An Ohio janitorial or cleaning business meeting a customer’s theft-protection requirement or arranging that protection for its client work. Use the customer agreement to identify the requested limit and covered people.
- Who is protected
- The relevant customer-property theft exposure is subject to the bond’s limit and conditions. It is not a guarantee of satisfactory cleaning, compensation for every unexplained shortage or liability insurance for every accident.
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.

Questions about this bond
Does “bonded and insured” mean this one purchase covers everything?
No. Ask the customer for its theft-protection and liability requirements separately. A janitorial bond does not replace general liability coverage or a promise to complete the cleaning contract.
Can a client claim for a missing item without further conditions?
Coverage is governed by the issued form. RLI’s application describes a conviction requirement for employee dishonesty, as well as other bond provisions, exclusions and conditions.
How do I select the Ohio three-year option?
Use the three-year RLI option on this page and its Purchase Now link. The one-year choice remains available here too; neither requires a separate term-specific page.
Does a higher limit mean all crew members are covered?
The limit and the definition of covered people are separate questions. Review employee, owner and subcontractor treatment before describing the coverage to a client.
