Employees on Extended Leave
Ohio DC bills employers based on contribution elections made by your employees. Sometimes employees go on extended leave without making a change with us and our billings continue to include individuals who have no eligible compensation to contribute.

We understand being billed for employees on extended leave can sometimes cause extra work for employers when filing. To help our employers we have adopted a new process to automatically stop billing for employees who have not had their contributions remitted for at least six pay periods, excluding school districts from June to September.

To stop billing sooner, employers can also note an employee is on extended leave when filing on the Ohio Business Gateway or on their remittance documents sent directly to Ohio DC.

Employees should contact Ohio DC’s Service Center a month before returning from extended leave to resume contributions or make a change online by logging in at Ohio457.org.
