Tangible financial assurance

More than $15 million in surety bond coverage (backed by an A-rated carrier and held in Trust at a national bank) protects you and your worksite employees in the unlikely event of a default by your PEO to pay wages, payroll taxes, employee retirement plan contributions or workers' compensation and health insurance premiums. ESAC has been operating since 1995 without a single accredited PEO default.

Continuous due diligence

Your PEO's accreditation – including compliance with comprehensive financial, operational and ethical requirements — is independently verified on a quarterly basis. You can monitor accreditation status by clicking on the ESAC logo on your PEO's website or the verify accreditation link on this site. ESAC will proactively notify you if your PEO's accreditation is terminated.
