Employers who paid into a workers' compensation fund in Ohio run by the state were granted $860 million in refunds Wednesday by a judge who ruled that the fund had overcharged some employers from 2001 to 2008.
Judge Richard J. McMonagle of Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court (Cleveland) ruled that an earlier decision be made final “without delay.”
More than 270,000 of the 300,000 employers in the class defined by the court would get refunds if the decision is sustained, according to plaintiffs' lawyers and spokesmen for the state fund.
