The first sentence would indicate that 1045's explanation is correct. I was looking more at the third sentence where it mentions "community" and "well-being" when I made my suggestion.

employé garanti


Explanation:
bonded employee = employé garanti

Par exemple, les sociétés commerciales quand elles engagent une telle personne s'adressent à une société de garantie et demandent que cet employé soit garanti pour un certain montant

assurés/couverts par une police d'assurance individuelle


Explanation:
C'est un exemple curieux que "bonded" appliqué à des personnes. Normalement, c'est l'entreprise elle-même qui est concernée, par ce qui s'appelle une caution ou un cautionnement. Je serais surpris que le personnel soit individuellement concerné, donc il s'agit plus probablement d'assurance. Là encore, cette remarque est assez surprenante s'appliquant à des employés. Et pourquoi ne pas avoir utilisé "insured"? Il serait bon d'obtenir des éclaircissements.

Reference: Bonding, or Surety Bond,

Reference information:
is an agreement by a third party promising to pay or have the work completed if a vendor does not fulfill his obligations under a contract. In other words, this is a so-called financial guarantee that you will honor your contract. A bond is not an insurance policy. It does not cover loss due to personal injury or property damage; it only provides assurance that the work contracted is satisfactorily completed.

Reference: Bonded employee

Reference information:
Je rencontre cette expression surtout dans le cas d'agences de sécurité ou de services publics ou parapublics qui doivent faire valoir l'honnêteté de leurs employés (ou de leurs bénévoles). L'assureur de l'employeur établit le risque de l'entreprise en fonction du respect de cette exigence; les employés font l'objet d'une enquête en bonne et due forme (avec rapport de police et même de la GRC, s.v.p.).

"Even if you have an internal auditing system that makes embezzlement difficult, the danger of collusion still exists. Consequently, some companies protect themselves from employee dishonesty by bonding their employees. Bonding is the process by which an employer can be indemnified for the loss of money or other property sustained through dishonest acts of a "bonded" employee. It can cover many types of fraudulent or dishonest acts committed by an employee, alone or in collusion with others, including: larceny, theft, embezzlement, forgery, misappropriation, wrongful abstraction, or willful misapplication. (...) There are several types of fidelity bonds. (...)

"Dans l'appel en l'espèce, je propose de rendre la décision que le conseil arbitral aurait dû rendre. J'ai tenu compte des facteurs suivants : (...) la capacité du prestataire d'exécuter ses tâches de messager n'a pas été touchée. Rien ne laisse entendre que cet incident pourrait avoir une incidence sur son statut d'employé cautionné;"
