How does a New York Employment Agency Bond work?
This bond will serve as a path of recourse for the obligee (People of the State of New York) if the principal (employment agency) commits misconduct. The party who must fulfill the obligation is the principal. The surety bond company will financially support the principal. In doing so, the immediate financial responsibility will be shouldered by the surety.
When a bond claim is made by the obligee, it is the duty of the surety to settle the claim once its validity has been determined. Once the surety has paid the claim, the principal must reimburse the full amount under the terms of the bond.
