Could a financial employee lose their bonding if they file for bankruptcy?
according to our corporate attorney, under 11 USC sec 525 an employer cannot terminate an employee because that employee filed for bankruptcy. however in regards to financial institution employees, there could be an issue if being bonded is a job requirement and that employee does not qualify to be bonded because of the bankruptcy. if the bonding company will allow the employee to maintain their bond if they file, than the employee would be protected under the above stated code. basically, it is up to the insurance company offering the coverage to the financial institution and their requirements for maintaining fidelity bond capabilities.
