What is the purpose of an Ohio Unemployment Compensation Bond and how much does it cost?

The bond states that the bondholder shall pay, including any applicable interest, according to the terms, provisions, and limitations of Section 4141.241, Ohio Revised Code, and of legislation amendatory thereof and supplemental. In order to find out the cost of the surety bond, all we need is the completed application.

The amount of the bond shall be equal to three percent of the organizations’ wages paid for employment as defined in section 4141.01 of the Revised Code that would have been taxable had the organization been a subject employer during the for calendar quarters immediately preceding the effective date of the election.
