Worker's Compensation

Workers’ Compensation is a no fault insurance system that provides for the payment of medical services, lost wages and other benefits when an employee:

suffers an injury;
develops an occupational illness; and/or
dies from an incident arising out of or in the course of employment.

There is no cost to employees for coverage; and employees receive benefits if their claim meets the requirements established by Ohio Revised Code.

Read the Introduction To Workers’ Compensation for more general information about the Ohio workers’ compensation program.

The Hamilton County Workers' Compensation Handbook has been compiled as a resource for county employees; but it is not meant to be an exhaustive guide to workers' compensation procedures. The Workers' Compensation program was established and is governed by Ohio Revised Code (Section 4121.121).Ohio Revised Code and Hamilton County Policy prevail in the event of conflicts in this handbook.
