4. BUREAU OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION NOTICE BY EMPLOYER

Each school district paying premiums into the state insurance fund or electing directly to pay

compensation to its injured employees or the dependents of its killed employees must post

conspicuously in its place or places of employment notices which will be furnished in adequate number

by the bureau of worker’s compensation at the time of the payment of the premium stating the fact that

the school district has made the payment, the date thereof, and period for which the payment is made, or

that the school district has complied with the Ohio Revised Code, and has been authorized by the

administrator of worker’s compensation directly to compensate employees or dependents and the date

of the authorization. The notice, when posted, constitutes sufficient notice to school district employees of

the fact that the school district has made payment or that the school district has complied with the

elective provisions of the Ohio Revised Code. O.R.C. § 4123.83.

CERTIFICATE AVAILABLE BY CALLING THE BUREAU OF WORKERS COMPENSATION AT

NOTE

: Boards of education may also want to consult their Workers’ Compensation advisor concerning

the “chemical test” posting described in O.R.C. § 4123.54. Although not mandatory, such posting may

be helpful when injuries occur. The posting must inform employees that a refusal to take a test may

affect their eligibility for Workers’ Compensation benefits. If they then refuse to take a test, the board is

entitled to a “rebuttable presumption” that the injury was caused by intoxication or unlawful drug use.
