Hiring a risky job applicant? Free federal employee bond

The federal government's federal bonding services provide 6 months of bonding insurance to protect employers against employee dishonesty. The program is designed to eliminate the risk of hiring at-risk job applicants including: ex-offenders, recovering substance abusers (alcohol or drugs), welfare recipients and other persons having poor financial credit, economically disadvantaged youth and adults who lack a work history, individuals dishonorably discharged from the military, and anyone who cannot secure employment without bonding.

The bonding service is user-friendly and covers any type of stealing: theft, forgery, larceny or embezzlement. There is no cost to the employer. After 6 months, the employer can convert the policy to the private sector and pay any premiums.
