Employers get new unemployment reporting choices

Ohio professional employer organizations, their reporting entities, and alternate employer organizations can report quarterly worker wages and unemployment contributions under their own accounts and rates. Professional employer organizations and their reporting entities must notify Ohio’s job agency and keep their choice for at least two calendar years before changing it. The agency recalculates the organization’s rate; normally, it starts the calendar year after notice is received. For elections received within 60 days after the law’s effective date, the new rate starts immediately upon receipt. The agency can combine a client employer’s unemployment history before and during a professional employer organization agreement, and permit that history to stay with the client after the agreement ends.
