About this file

This document is the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) Independent Contractor/Worker Acknowledgment form, used for individuals providing personal services to Ohio public employers who are classified as independent contractors rather than public employees. The form must be completed within 30 days of beginning services for a public employer after January 7, 2013. It consists of three main sections: personal information, public employer information, and an acknowledgment section detailing the contractor's classification status.

The form outlines eight specific criteria that define an independent contractor under Ohio Administrative Code section 145-1-42(A)(2), including being party to a bilateral agreement, receiving payment by contractual arrangement, ineligibility for workers' compensation and employee benefits, providing own supplies and equipment, and receiving IRS Form 1099. The document emphasizes that independent contractors are not eligible for OPERS contributions and explains the process for requesting classification determinations, which must be made within five years of service commencement. The form must be retained by the public employer with a copy sent to OPERS, and failure to retain this acknowledgment may extend the contractor's right to request classification determination beyond the standard five-year period.
