A Nevada employment agency bond binds the following three parties in a legal agreement:
- Principal: The employment agency filing the bond
- Obligee: The Office of the Labor Commissioner requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
If you, as the principal, violate the bond terms, the surety will pay valid claims up to the $1,000 bond amount. However, it is your responsibility to reimburse the surety provider for paid claims and fees.
