How can my company save on group workers compensation rating?
The State of Ohio allows associations like the Chamber to pool their members into large groups, and then treats each group as if it were a large company, offering premium savings that are otherwise available only to large companies with good claims history. Employers in group rating are billed by the state and pay their premiums directly to the state. Group rating is simply a way to achieve lower rates.
Sheakley UniService, the Cincinnati-based administrator of the Chamber's group rating plan, determines eligibility for the program using company claims and risk records provided by the state. Because ChamberComp is the largest program in southwestern Ohio it can offer more group options for your company.
You owe it to your company to check out the savings you can experience through ChamberComp. To get a free no-obligation Workers’ Comp savings projection, download, print and complete a Temporary Authorization Form (AC3) and fax it to the Chamber at 513.579.3101, or mail it to the address shown on the form.

How does the Chamber decide how to assess dues to members?
In the vast majority of cases, the formula for setting the level of dues combines a minimum base rate plus a small fee per full time permanent employee. The system is designed to result in a “fair share” contribution by businesses of all sizes. In some special business categories a different formula is sometimes used, but the goal is always fairness.
My company is a member of the Chamber, does that make me a member?
Yes. When your company joins the Clermont Chamber of Commerce, all employees within that company become Chamber members. Any employee may take advantage of the program and benefit offerings.
I would like to let my customers and vendors know I am a member of the Clermont Chamber of Commerce. Can I use the Chamber’s logo on my letterhead and business cards?
You are encouraged to show the pride you have in your membership by using the Chamber’s logo on your printed materials and on your website. Upon request, the Chamber will provide a digital file or hard copy of the ad slicks of the official version of the Chamber’s logo.
Most of my clients are outside of Clermont County, why should I join the Chamber?
The Chamber offers a wide variety of training, education and development programs that help you build your staff; we help foster the growth of other businesses at which family members of your associates can find meaningful employment; we work for a better business climate by advocating on your behalf to local, state and federal governments; and, we help direct educational development in directions that will drive growth for our county.
I don’t have time to become heavily involved in Chamber activities. Does that decrease the value of my membership?
Not at all. As a matter of fact, only about 15% of all members participate actively in volunteer positions with the Chamber. Your membership is designed to give you a tremendous return on your investment even if you don’t have time to get heavily involved. If you do have the time, you can certainly reap extra benefits.
