Construction Contractors Employer Group (CCEG)

CCEG, a subsidiary of the Associated General Contractors of Northwest Ohio (AGC), is an organization that was created to reduce the cost of labor for its contractor members and the members of similar trade associations (i.e. NECA, MCA, OCA, etc.) primarily by controlling their workers compensation costs.

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (OBWC) has made significant changes to the Group Rating system over the past five years. Discounts are down, and the number of employers that qualify for group rating has been reduced because of these changes.

Many employers who qualified for Group Rating in the past are being told that they will not be allowed to participate in the future usually because of one or two claims. For claims that occur after January 1, 2011 the OBWC will no longer suppress reserves where the employer pays wage continuation to an employee who would otherwise be collecting workers’ compensation benefits. That change alone will have a significant impact on union contractors.

The OBWC offers alternative programs like the Drug Free Safety Program, deductibles or retrospective rating programs that offer some discounts. However, the advantage of these programs has been diminished. The need is for a program that allows employers to truly control their costs.

CCEG is an excellent alternative for contractors that are not in a group rating program or will be forced out of their rating group, and those that are just tired of the ups and downs of group rating and dealing with the OBWC.

"The Program"

The CCEG is a business entity that allows companies to come together and manage the cost and liability of employment without disrupting normal business operations. It was created by union contractors to benefit union contractors. It is a one of a kind program that allows its members to get away from the OBWC, take control of their claim costs, and save significant dollars.

On average, through the most recent fiscal year, member companies experienced a reduction of more than 38% in their workers’ compensation costs, compared to what their costs would have been without the CCEG program. This savings does not include the other costs that go along with worker’s compensation, such as salary continuation, fees for group rating participation, consultants, etc.

CCEG’s member companies are the safest in the business. Their employees have been through apprenticeship programs and are randomly drug tested. They have OSHA training, safety programs and are sound financially. They stand above the competition and are rewarded for this by membership in the CCEG program.

The CCEG enables its members to focus on their business by handling the non-revenue, administrative functions of business. Make the same choice many contractors have already made and join the smart alternative with CCEG.
