Bill
SB 263
SB 263 redefines Professional Employer Organization responsibilities under Ohio unemployment insurance law, adjusting cost allocation and claims procedures for workers covered through PEO arrangements.
SB 263 modifies Ohio's unemployment insurance laws as they apply to Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). The bill adjusts how PEOs—companies that provide HR services and handle payroll for client businesses—are treated under the state's unemployment compensation system. This includes changes to employer responsibility, contribution requirements, and claims procedures involving PEO-covered workers.
PEOs serve thousands of Ohio small and medium-sized businesses by outsourcing HR functions, affecting tens of thousands of workers' unemployment insurance coverage and benefits. The specific regulatory treatment of PEOs directly impacts which entity bears unemployment costs when workers are laid off or between assignments, ultimately affecting both employer costs and worker eligibility for benefits.
