In Ohio, we are in the middle of Group Rating Season. With a proper and thorough review of your choices, you can reduce costs and improve workplace safety.
Oct 3, 2025
The time is now for a strategic opportunity to reduce workers’ compensation premium costs for the upcoming year.
During late summer and early fall, Ohio employers enter what’s known as “group rating season”—a critical window when companies evaluate their eligibility to join a Group Experience Rating Program or Group Retrospective Rating Program through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC).
These programs allow employers with similar risk profiles to pool together and potentially reduce their workers’ comp premiums by up to 53%, the maximum discount allowed by BWC.
If your company qualifies for one of these programs, it can:
- Significantly lower premiums
- Reinforce your company’s commitment to safety and compliance
This opportunity is once a year and is time sensitive.
Now is the time to contact Roger Frain at Taylor Oswald to start this process with you. Contact Roger at rfrain@tayloroswald.com or direct at (216) 273-0215.
