Anti-Job Poaching Pacts in Ohio: What Do They Mean for Growing Ohio Businesses Seeking Public Tax Incentives? Ohio Tax Attorney, Dan Borsky, of EAG, LLC Explains
2013-03-19
In 2012, Anti-Job Poaching Pacts in Ohio garnered much attention. As of January 2013, 58 communities in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County signed a "no job poaching" pact. In the Columbus metro area, 14 communities did the same. However, some communities such as Upper Arlington and Dublin in Central Ohio and Middleburg Heights around Cleveland rejected or have held out signing an agreement. Some challenged whether they are legally binding. Does this mean an unraveling of anti-job poaching pacts? Unfortunately, whether formal agreements proliferate or not, the new reality ...

The list, provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is compiled by calculating the number of deaths per 100,000 workers. Some of the jobs on the list may surprise you.

What Is An OTR Decision?
2013-03-19
A person who can no longer work due to injury or illness may apply to the Social Security Administration for disability benefits. The application process, however, is often unsuccessful in the early stages. Nearly two-thirds of applications are rejected initially. This does not mean the quest for benefits is over, but it does mean that many people must appeal in order to obtain the Social Security Disability benefits they need. For some applicants, an on-the-record decision, or OTR, is a worthwhile option during the appeals process.
