Legal Question in Workers Comp in Ohio

Re: company softball, logo, workmans compensation

Good morning,

The Ohio BWC has a waiver (FORM C-159) for voluntary recreational activities.

The requirements are

1) participation in the employer-sponsored recreation activity must be voluntary;

2) the waiver must specifically list all the employer-sponsored activities for which the employee wishes to waive workers� compensation coverage;

3) the employee must sign and date the form prior to the date of injury, or, in an occupational disease claim, the date of disability;

4) the employer must retain the original completed form for its files and provide a copy to the employee.

Please contact me or another attorney to review your options in this matter. Thank you.
