Are You Bondable?

If you have a good credit rating and no prior criminal activity then you are likely bondable.
Have you noticed that many postings or job applications ask are You Bondable? What does that really mean? Employee bonding is an insurance matter relating to the employer’s efforts to protect against theft or other wrongful acts by its employees. The insurance company requires information that helps them to determine if employees are likely to steal or damage property. The pre-employment screening process is used to weed out potential employees who have poor personal credit histories, or convictions for theft or fraud. These pre-employment inquires are now subject to increased scrutiny because of the existence of B.C.’s Personal Information Protection Act. If the employer cannot demonstrate a reasonable need for the background information then its request for that information would be unlawful.

What is being asked here is essentially whether or not you will pass the background check. If you are free of criminal activity in your past, you will be bonded to the company, so that in the event you steal or commit fraud against them, the company is covered for the losses you have incurred.

If you have a clean record, answer "Yes".
