Dublin Chamber Helps Eligible Employers Save on Workers’ Compensation Premiums

As November enrollment deadlines approach, Chamber members can request a free savings analysis from Sedgwick.

The Dublin Chamber of Commerce encourages members to explore potential savings on their Ohio workers’ compensation premiums through its Group Experience Rating Program. Sedgwick administers the Chamber’s program and offers members a free, no-obligation savings analysis.

Group experience rating allows eligible public and private employers with favorable claims histories to join a group of similar employers. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) uses the group’s combined claims history to calculate a rate, which can lower premiums for participating employers. Employers continue to receive workers’ compensation coverage through BWC.

Who Can Qualify?

To qualify, employers must meet BWC requirements, including the following:

• Stay current on BWC payments and any payment plan.

• Have no more than 40 total days of lapsed coverage in the past 12 months.

• Report actual payroll for the prior policy year and pay any remaining premium due.

• Participate in only one group experience rating program.

Sedgwick Enrollment Deadlines

Prospective clients must submit enrollment materials to Sedgwick by Nov. 6, 2026. The firm deadline for current clients is Nov. 18, 2026. After Nov. 18, Sedgwick will automatically enroll clients who participated in prior years.

Ohio BWC Filing Deadlines

Sponsoring organizations and their third-party administrators submit applications to BWC. The filing deadline is Nov. 23, 2026, for private employers with a policy year beginning July 1, 2027, and May 31, 2027, for public employer taxing districts with a policy year beginning Jan. 1, 2028.
