whom or with respect to whom the professional employer organization or professional employer group does not make a payment
described in this subsection when due. The professional employer organization or professional employer group shall file with
the department any agreement, instrument, or other document
that is necessary to enforce the commitment against the professional employer organization or professional employer group, or
