Rule 4123-18-11 | Incentive payments to employers who hire or retain injured workers who have completed a rehabilitation program.
The bureau, as a means of encouraging employers to retain, rehire, or hire injured workers who have successfully completed a prescribed rehabilitation program, may make payments to such employers from the surplus fund established by section 4123.34 of the Revised Code.
(A) The payments will be negotiated with the employer based upon a written agreement signed by the employer and the injured worker and approved by the bureau.
(B) The period(s) of such payment will not exceed six months in the aggregate, unless the bureau determines that the injured worker would benefit from an extension of payments.
(C) Payments under this rule are made directly to the employer on a monthly basis, provided the employer is a complying employer in the state in which it is subject to workers' compensation coverage . However, a self-insuring employer is not eligible for payments under this rule in any claim in which a self-insuring employer is the employer of record.
