What is an Employee Theft Bond?
As a business owner, you want to believe that you only hire the best people for your company. Sometimes, though, a person might join your team who is less trustworthy than they appeared. This is why so many businesses look into employee theft bonds. An employee theft bond protects your business and your clients from possible loss due to theft involving one or more employees.
What kind of businesses might need an employee theft bond?
Businesses that send employees into the homes or businesses of their clients should consider obtaining an employee theft bond. This includes housekeeping and janitorial services, plumbers and electricians, remodeling, and general contracting.
Companies that handle client money, such as accounting firms, should also have a bond that protects their clients from potential embezzlement or fraud by employees. Also, businesses that conduct research and development could be at risk from employees who have access to intellectual property and might share that information with competitors for a hefty payout.
