Ohio Public Employer Workers Compensation Rates Falling

Ohio's 3,900 public employer taxing districts will pay an estimated $22 million less for workers' compensation coverage next year following a decision by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation Board of Directors to lower overall rates five (5) percent beginning January 1.

The board voted after considering the proposal presented by BWC Administrator/CEO Stephen Buehrer last month.

"This five (5) percent reduction will mean a cost saving for public employers of more than $20 million," said Buehrer. "Local communities need additional tools as well as ways to cut costs in these tough economic times. This reduction in workers' compensation rates should help communities across the state."

The overall average decrease of five (5) percent will result in even greater reductions for several public employers industry groups. Rates for counties and school districts will decrease by an overall six (6) percent; villages by an overall nine (9) percent and special districts (excluding transit authorities) by an overal 18 percent.
