What this bond does
The coverage addresses employee dishonesty, theft and fraud affecting the business's money, securities and property. Recovery depends on the issued terms.
- Who needs it
- Business owners and organizations seeking protection for their own financial loss can apply. Include a description of your workforce rather than assuming every person working for you is covered.
- Who is protected
- The employer is the protected party under this first-party fidelity coverage. RLI also describes optional coverage for certain volunteers, contractors, partners and board members.
