Janitorial & Sanitation Workers' Compensation FAQs
How can janitorial companies reduce workers' compensation costs in Ohio?
Janitorial companies can reduce workers’ compensation costs by improving workplace safety, reporting injuries quickly, managing claims proactively, and creating effective return-to-work strategies. AEG also provides qualifying Ohio employers with an alternative workers’ compensation structure designed to improve cost control and predictability.
What are the most common workers' compensation claims in janitorial and sanitation work?
Common claims include slips, trips, and falls, strains from lifting or repetitive motion, chemical exposure, equipment-related injuries, and needlestick or sharp-object incidents in certain work environments.
How does AEG help janitorial and sanitation companies manage claims?
AEG provides direct claims oversight, rapid injury response, return-to-work coordination, and ongoing risk management support. This approach helps employers address claims earlier and work toward reducing claim duration and long-term cost exposure.
Can Armada help improve safety across multiple client worksites?
Yes. Armada provides safety assessments and OSHA-focused guidance that can help janitorial and sanitation employers establish more consistent safety practices across different work environments. This can be especially valuable for companies whose employees regularly work at multiple customer locations.
How can delayed injury reporting affect workers' compensation costs?
Delayed reporting can make claims more difficult to manage and may contribute to longer claim durations and higher costs. Establishing consistent reporting procedures across worksites allows employers and claims professionals to respond more quickly when an injury occurs.
Do I have to change my payroll provider to work with Armada?
No. AEG’s Alternative Employer Organization model allows employers to maintain their existing payroll provider and EIN while accessing workers’ compensation, claims, safety, and risk management support.
What size janitorial or sanitation company is a good fit for Armada?
Armada may be a strong fit for janitorial and sanitation companies spending $10,000 or more annually on workers’ compensation premiums, particularly those experiencing recurring injuries, costly claims, rising rates, or challenges managing risk across multiple worksites.
Can a janitorial company headquartered outside Ohio work with Armada?
Potentially. Armada primarily supports employers with operations in Ohio. A janitorial or sanitation company may still be eligible if it has employees working in Ohio, even if its headquarters is located in another state.
How do I know if an AEO is right for my janitorial or sanitation company?
If your company is experiencing rising workers’ compensation costs, recurring claims, limited transparency, or challenges with the state fund or a PEO, an AEO may provide a more flexible alternative. Armada can evaluate your current structure and determine whether its model is a fit.
