Policy Number VI-8: Waiver of Workers’ Compensation Benefits and Full Release of Liability for Recreational or Fitness Activities

Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to limit the City’s exposure to workers’ compensation claims and law suits stemming from its employees’ voluntary participation in City-sponsored recreational/social activities and fitness programs and from its employees’ voluntary use of City physical fitness and recreational equipment/facilities.

Policy: The City offers recreational and social activities to its employees to encourage team-building and social experiences which are important for the development of positive relationships and productive interaction among staff. The City also offers access to recreational equipment and facilities for physical fitness training. However, participation in these activities is entirely voluntary and occurs outside of the hours of employment and/or outside of the scope and course of employment. Examples of such activities include team bowling, team outings to sporting events (Reds games and University of Cincinnati games), canoe trips, the MontyGomery Golf outing, and paintball outings.

The State of Ohio recognizes that these activities are outside of the course and scope of employment and the state provides a waiver to be signed by employees to exclude any injury from Workers’ Compensation exposure. The City also requires all participants in City recreational programs to sign waivers and releases, and a second purpose of this policy is to be consistent in administering the program between employees and the consuming public.

There are multiple ways to ensure that the City does not incur unnecessary costs in offering recreational and social activities, including limiting its exposure to workers’ compensation claims and to law suits which could arise as a result of an employee’s voluntary participation in these activities. Criteria for determining if an activity qualifies for a waiver of workers’ compensation benefits and a full release of liability are as follows:

• employee participation is voluntary,

• the activity is outside the scope of the employee’s normal job duties, and

• the activity is a recreational/social activity, a fitness program, or an activity involving the use of City recreational or physical fitness equipment or facilities.

Procedure:

1. Each employee is required to complete an Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation C-159 form (Waiver of Workers’ Compensation Benefits for Recreational or Fitness Activities) and a City of Montgomery “Release, Hold Harmless and Agreement Not to Sue” form prior to participating in an activity which meets the criteria listed above. The completion of these forms includes signing and dating the forms, as well as listing the specific activity(ies) or event(s) in which the employee will be participating. The Workers’ Compensation waiver can be signed once each year and list all activities in which the employee intends to participate. The Release form must be signed for each event.

2. The individual organizing the activity or event shall provide a list of all participants along with a completed C-159 form and a completed “Release, Hold Harmless and Agreement Not to Sue” form from each participant to the Assistant City Manager at least one week prior to the date of the activity or event.

3. For employees voluntarily using City recreational/physical fitness equipment or facilities, the employee shall submit a completed Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation C-159 form and a completed “Release, Hold Harmless and Agreement Not to Sue” form to the Assistant City Manager prior to utilizing said equipment and/or facilities.

4. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation C-159 form and the City of Montgomery “Release, Hold Harmless and Agreement Not to Sue” form shall be updated by the employee and resubmitted to the Assistant City Manager periodically as determined by the Assistant City Manager and as required by provisions of ORC Chapter 4123.

Failure to comply with these procedures shall disqualify the employee from participating in the activity and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination from employment.
