(2) For an employer new to Ohio without a reported payroll, the hazard group is based on the employer's application for workers' compensation coverage;
(3) Hazard groups are defined as follows:
(a) For private employers, appendix C to rule 4123-17-72 of the Administrative Code; and
(b) For public employer taxing districts, appendix E to rule 4123-17-72 of the Administrative Code.
(B) The bureau shall notify the employer of the estimated minimum premium percentage based on the limits selected by the employer and the payroll of the employer. The premium rates on the payroll reports received by the employer for the policy year will be calculated using the minimum premium per cent and the premium sized adjustment described in rule 4123-17-03.3 of the Administrative Code.
