Ohio Private Employer Base Rates Fall
The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation has reached another milestone in setting fair, equitable and competitive workers' compensation rates for Ohio employers, according to the BWC e-news. The BWC Board of Directors approved an overall premium rate decrease of 3.9 percent for private employers effective in July. With this reduction, Ohio's private employer base rates are at their lowest level in the last two decades, and 35 percent lower than they were in policy year 2007. In addition, base rates are now lower for more than half of Ohio's 531 manual classifications, an overall 8.4 percent decrease in base rates since 2009. Because private employers pay for their workers' compensation coverage six months in arrears, they will see this latest decrease in their January 2011 statements. "By lowering Ohio's base rates to levels not seen in at least 20 years, the majority of Ohio's private employers are now seeing significant savings in their workers' compensation costs," said BWC Administrator Marsha Ryan. "These funds can now be invested into their business operations to support future job growth and economic development in our state." Led by its board of directors, the BWC is in the third year of a comprehensive rate-reform effort to make certain the amount paid by each employer matches the risk that employer brings to the system. In other news...the BWC Board of Directors has improved rate making accuracy and consistency for public employer taxing districts (PECs). The board modified two tables that impact experience-based rate adjustments for PECs. These changes take effect Jan. 1, 2011. The credibility table will have maximum value of 65 percent and will have lower eligibility requirments. This will allow smaller employers to earn adjustments based on their own claim experience. For those in group rating, the revised break-even factor table allows them to achieve a maximum discount of 59 percent. The action aligns the PEC credibility table with that of private employers, which the BWC Board of Directors established earlier this year and which became effective on July 1. The BWC applies the break-even factor in conjunction with the credibility table to set rates for all PECs that reflect their individual risk level.
