The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation on Thursday announced that public employers will pay an average of 3.9% less in workers compensation retroactive Jan. 1.
The rate reduction was made possible by declining injury claims and relatively low medical inflation costs by Ohio’s counties, cities, public schools and other public taxing districts, according to a statement.
Since 2011, the overall reduction in public employers’ rates is 57.2%, according to the BWC.
