BWC's gift acceptance policy

Our policy states that BWC employees cannot accept ANY GIFT OR GRATUITY from anyone:

  • Doing or seeking to do business with the bureau;
  • Regulated by the BWC;
  • Interested in any matter before the BWC.

Important Note: Please do not send gifts or gratuities of any nature to any BWC employee, office or division. Gifts received by BWC staff or offices will be returned along with a letter to the sender explaining that Ohio's ethics laws prohibit acceptance of such gifts.

All BWC division chiefs will notify the chief of staff immediately of the action taken.

Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
