What Columbus, OH salon owners should know

Rapid suburban growth means many new salons and suites — each needing BWC comp once they hire. Ohio is a monopolistic workers’ compensation state: coverage is required from the first employee and must be purchased through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC), not a private insurer.

Because Ohio BWC coverage does not include employers’ liability, many Ohio salons add “stop gap” employers’ liability to their general liability policy.
