Spooner helps clients stay on track with the Ohio BWC policy year | Cleveland, Ohio

The Ohio BWC 2019 Policy Year

The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) will set a schedule every year for both private and public employers. It's very important for employers to know what the dates are for these important deadlines, especially when the policy year begins and ends.

July 1st is the beginning of the 2019 policy year. This means that the 2018 BWC policy year won't end until June 30th.

True-Up Deadline

True-up is a process that requires Ohio employers to report their payroll for the previous policy year. This allows the BWC to accurately calculate your premium. A true-up report is also necessary for maintaining your policy and your eligibility in your current rating plan or discount programs. This is important for all employers in the private sector because if you don't true-up, then you will not be eligible for programs in 2020.

Important Deadlines for Ohio BWC Schedule:

January 31, 2019: 2019 Group Retro Enrollment Deadline
July 1, 2019: Beginning of 2019 policy
August 15, 2019: True-up Report Deadline
September 20, 2019: Snapshot date for experience calculation
November 25, 2019: 2020 Group Rating Enrollment Deadline

DOL Issues Final Rule on Independent Contractors

Who’s Really an Independent Contractor? DOL Finalizes New Rule Clarifying Classification Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) finalized its rules regarding classification of independent contractors. The organization hadn’t previously defined this by regulations, only by guidelines (which are as clear as OSHA “best practices”). The updated rule creates a six-factor “economic realities” test to determine whether or not a worker is truly an independent contractor under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Among others, the test includes factors such as degree of permanence, amount of control the employer holds, and the worker’s skills. Since Ohio employers aren’t required to cover 1099 employees under their BWC policy, we have a lot of discussions with clients about whether or not a worker actually meets the qualifications of being an independent contractor. Understanding these qualifications is not only important for insurance purposes, but also for recordkeeping, and the application of minimum wage and overtime rules. Our friends at Roetzel & Andress have done a great job of explaining this new classification rule in a way that’s easy to digest and understand, so we’re deferring to their recent update for the details. For more info on how independent contractors can impact your Ohio BWC policy, check out this blog. This goes into effect March 11

It’s time to post and electronically submit your OSHA logs - and this year, submission requirements will impact far more U.S. employers. We discussed this in detail when the rule was finalized in July 2023. Effective January 1, 2024, OSHA will require employers with over 100 employees in certain high hazard industries to complete electronic records submissions of Forms 300 and 301, in addition to Form 300A. These are records that covered employers should already be keeping, but previously have not been required to submit. The impacted industries include (but aren’t limited to) retail, wholesale, performing arts, manufacturing, farming, and grocers. Our safety team agrees that the fastest, easiest way to find out your company’s submission requirements is to use this ITA Coverage Application. Enter your company’s NAICS code and employee count, and it will confirm which logs should be submitted. As a general guide: 20-249 employees and on this list must submit 300A 100 or more employees and on this list must submit the 300A, 301 and 300 log. Employee count is “per establishment,” not entire corporation size. So, what is OSHA’s definition of an “establishment?” An establishment is a single physical location where business is conducted, or where services or industrial operations are performed. For activities where employees do not work at a single physical location - such as construction, transportation, communication

Grading Payroll Providers on Enrollment and W-2 Performance

With 2023 group health enrollments behind us, and W-2 season wrapping up – most employers have a strong opinion about the role their payroll provider played in both of those, good or bad. Let’s consider open enrollment first. If your payroll provider utilizes an electronic benefits module, and made an implementation plan with your broker – things should have gone smoothly. Benefits enrollment is always subject to hitting snags throughout the process. Here are some things to consider: • Was there communication between all parties if a timeline changed? • Was everyone pulling in the same direction, without making you (the employer) an unnecessary go-between? • Was every party involved invested in making sure things were done right the first time? • Have you considered an API connection or Data Bridge with your Carrier? (Fees may apply) It’s important not to over- or under-rely on technology. Let the electronic benefits modules do their job, but make sure you and your payroll provider have your eyes peeled for potential issues. W-2 season brings similar headaches. If the employer has done their best to ensure that all employee info is up-to-date and accurate, the prevention and resolution of those headaches’ rests heavily on your payroll provider. If employees have questions about W-2s, or there’s a potentia
