True-up process
Submitted By Julia Bowling, Sedgwick on Tuesday, 8/18/2026
The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) provides workers’ compensation coverage based on estimated payroll. Therefore, at the end of the policy year, BWC asks employers to report their actual payroll for the prior policy year and pay any shortage (or receive a refund for any overage) in premium. This process is called a true-up. If the true-up is not completed timely, the following may occur:
Employer will not be eligible for prior year rebates and incentives
Employer will be removed from current year programs
Employer will become ineligible for programs the following year and will continue to remain ineligible for all future years until all past true-ups are completed.
How to report payroll and complete the true-up
Although employers may contact BWC at (800) OHIO-BWC (800.644.6292) and complete their true-up report over the phone, BWC anticipates high call volumes and long wait times. They
strongly encourage employers to complete their true-up report online through their BWC e-account at www.bwc.ohio.gov. If you do not have an e-account, simply select the Create E-Account Link to begin. You will need your BWC policy number and/or Federal Tax Identification Number.
Deadline
Private employers - True-up report must be completed, and payment received no later than August 31, 2026.
Please note: There is no longer a grace period. True-up and payment (if owed) must be POSTED by the deadline date.
If you have any questions, contact our Sedgwick program manager, Julia Bowling at julia.bowling@sedgwick.com or ph 513-218-4062.

I appreciate this reminder because missing the BWC true-up can affect rebates and future program eligibility. As someone who works long hours, I always try to stay organized with deadlines like these. After work, I usually unwind by playing Melon Sandbox, a creative physics sandbox game where I can build, experiment, and enjoy stress-free gameplay for a while.
This true-up process sounds crucial for ensuring fairness! How does it typically impact budgeting trends? I’m curious if there's a direct link to tools like the tip calculator.
