Ohio State Regulations

In Ohio, all employers with one or more employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance exclusively through the state’s monopolistic fund, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC). Private insurers are not permitted to provide this coverage. Sole proprietors, partners, corporate officers, and LLC members are automatically excluded from mandatory coverage but have the option to opt-in if they wish. Ohio’s system ensures that injured workers receive necessary medical care, wage replacement, and rehabilitation services. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation oversees compliance, enforcing regulations and imposing penalties on employers who fail to provide the required coverage, thereby protecting workers’ rights and benefits.
