Northeast Ohio employers often have employees who live or work in neighboring Pennsylvania, West Virginia or other states throughout the region. As a state-regulated function, workers’ compensation interstate jurisdiction issues are inherently complex.

An employee may attempt to pursue a claim in the state of residence, the state in which work was performed, the state of injury and the state(s) in which workers’ compensation coverage was obtained by the employer. It is up to a state's regulatory authority to either take jurisdiction over a claim or deny it.

Michael Travis, Esq., BWC chief ombuds officer from the BWC Columbus office, and Christine Williams, BWC business consultant, will assist us in sorting out some of these workers’ compensation issues. Bring your questions.

Youngstown State University’s Career Services Office will also be on hand to provide attendees with information about its valuable recruiting resources and services.

This session has been approved for 1.0 credit hours toward the PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification.
