True-Up Reminder
Reminder: The payroll true-up is coming in July and is due no later than Aug. 15, 2016.
BWC’s new payroll true-up process requires employers to report their actual payroll for the previous policy year and reconcile any differences in premium paid. This important step is necessary for BWC to accurately calculate your premium. Even if your payroll for the year matches the estimate BWC provided or you had zero payroll, you must complete a true-up report.
The quickest and easiest way to true-up is online with a BWC e-account.
To create an e-account, go to www.bwc.ohio.gov and click on the Create e-account link in the top right-hand corner of the home page.
Please visit our website if you already have an e-account but don’t remember your password. If you are otherwise unable to access your account, please contact our call center at 1-800-644-6292.
