...'cause they can get hurt
Ohio property managers handle administrative work and supervise upkeep. Workers' comp helps with medical costs if a staff member is hurt on the job.
Workers' comp insurance provides protection to both the employer and the injured worker. Like other types of insurance, it’s there to help in the event of an incident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help pay for the costs associated with their care so the worker is provided for until they return to work.
Since the company had an active workers' comp policy, they are not responsible for paying the medical bills.

If your payroll is more than was estimated at the beginning of the policy, it will be discovered at audit and you will be billed for the difference.
Have a clear process to report claims
...and make sure your employees know about it. This will make the entire experience easier for all involved. It can even help keep your costs down!
Report every incident- even if it didn't result in a large injury. Some things which seem insignificant can snowball into costly issues.
