WORKERS COMPENSATION
Our Chamber has partnered with Sheakley for over 30 years to help employers save on Workers’ Compensation premiums. Workers’ compensation premiums and unemployment taxes can be some of the most expensive costs of doing business in Ohio. As one of the most experienced third-party administrators (TPA) in the industry, we work with more than 16,000 employers to reduce these expenses through savings opportunities like Group Rating, Group Retrospective Rating, the Drug-Free Safety Program, and Self-Insurance for workers’ compensation.
Sheakley understands that eliminating workplace accidents by maintaining a safe work environment is critical to eliminating injuries that result in costly workers’ compensation claims. They provide consultation, on-site training, and web-based presentations to over 9,300 employees, supervisors, and human resource consultants annually on topics related to accident prevention.
They’ll partner with you to create tailored Plans of Action so that you can make the best decisions for your organization!

MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATION
Sheakley’s Managed Care Organization (MCO) coordinates medical care for injured workers, helping employers control costs while ensuring employees receive appropriate treatment. New employers in Ohio have 30 days to select an MCO; if no selection is made, the BWC will assign one. As a Chamber partner, Sheakley is recognized as a preferred MCO for Ohio employers.
