what does it mean to be bonded in a job

[MatteoLee]

To be bonded at a job means that a third-party insurance company has provided a fidelity bond, which is insurance covering employer losses from employee dishonesty such as theft, fraud, or embezzlement. This policy serves to protect the employer by first requiring you to pass trustworthiness checks (background and credit), after which the bonding company guarantees financial reimbursement up to a specified limit for any loss you incur.
