WORKERS’ COMPENSATION GROUP PLAN:
For over ten years the Ohio Roofing Contractors Association Workers’ Compensation Group Rating Program has been administered by Hunter Consulting Company. By participating in our group your company can save up to 85% on your Workers’ Compensation premium payment to the state. This is an extremely important revenue saving program that is offered by ORCA, which will impact your company’s bottom-line in a positive light.
HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN:
Larger groups get lower rates! This basic rule of health insurance can make it difficult for small employers to find affordable coverage. One solution is to combine their collective buying power and buy insurance coverage for all their employees. Small groups can do this by forming a “Health Care Alliance.” ORCA has accomplished this goal and is offering a very competitive Health Insurance Plan for members through the Construction Industry Alliance.
DRUG FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM:
ORCA, in conjunction with Nursing Corps, Inc., has established a Drug Free Workplace Program that assists our member firms in complying with the Ohio Drug Free Workplace requirements, obtaining Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Premium Discounts for Level 1 through Level 3 Employers; and it assists our member firms in obtaining their BWC Grant rebates for a drug and alcohol free environment. The program also provides a database, identification cards, and access to statewide testing facilities.

The website is a key item in our ongoing program to promote our ORCA Member Contractors. This web site is not only designed to help the roofing customer find an ORCA Member in their area, it is also designed to help you the contractor stay informed about current issues that affect your business, as well as providing access to contractor services and product suppliers.
