The true-up reporting deadline is August 15, 2022 (this Monday)
The true-up reporting deadline for policy year that ended June 30, 2022.
Employers need to report their actual payroll for the 7/1/21 to 6/30/22 policy year and reconcile (trueup) any differences in premium paid. You need to complete the true-up report even if your payroll for the year matches the estimate we provided at the beginning of the policy year or you had zero payroll. This is necessary for BWC to calculate your premium accurately. Failure to file your true-up and pay any additional premium due could result in disqualification from BWC rating plan or discount programs. The payroll true-up report must be completed online or through our call center at 1-800-644-6292. The quickest and easiest way to true-up is online with a BWC e-account. If you do not have an e-account, you can create one from our website www.bwc.ohio.gov . Go to the For Employers page, the Workers’ Compensation Overview link on the sidebar, then the How to create an e-account link. In a few easy steps, you can obtain a BWC e-account, and you will be able to true-up and view important information about your policy, including installment schedule and claims activity.
BWC Featured ItemsNew Resource – Poison Hemlock Safety Services Catalog Substance Use Recovery and Workplace Safety Program BWC Safety Webinars Virtual Training BWC Library Question of the Month Question: Answer: In this LOI, OSHA states that providing access to a hotline for employees to ask a qualified trainer questions is adequate, although it doesn’t really define what “hotline” is. In this LOI, OSHA states that using email to answer submitted questions while an employee is being trained is allowed only if the questions are answered immediately when they are asked. The LOIs for 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii)(N) stress that questions must be answered immediately by a qualified trainer, no matter the method, at the time that they are asked. The LOIs warn that employers who do not provide immediate answers to employees during bloodborne pathogens training could be found in violation of this requirement. If you need help with understanding requirements for bloodborne pathogens training, including questions about providing access to qualified trainers during virtual/online training, contact BWC Safety Consultants. Consultation services are free for those with a BWC policy. Find out more on our website. If you have question related to occupational safety and health, email the library at library@bwc.state.oh.us. |
