Bond or Insurance?

The Federal Code refers to the necessity of a bond It is Employee Dishonesty Insurance

Summary

Crime is a critical coverage component and should NEVER be left off of the producer/client discussion list

The “gift” of various crime coverages in package policies may not be adequate coverage

Be sure that the client really understands that the limit purchased this year covers all loss caused by an employee(s)
