HEAD OF BWC TALK ABOUT ALLEGATIONS INTO OVERCHARGING OF SMALL BUSINESSES

And the hits just keep on playing…

On May 21, 2014, Stephen Buehrer, head of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation was interviewed by NBC Channel 4 journalist, Duane Pohlman.   Ohio employers were intently watching and expecting some answers.  Why did the Ohio BWC overcharge more than 270,000 Ohio businesses for workers’ comp premiums?  Now that the court has ruled to pay the businesses back, and the appellate court affirmed the decision, why is the BWC not taking action?

These are great questions, but were not answered by Buehrer.  Instead, we heard twisted tales inconsistent with the facts about BWC group ratings.
