Cathy, I spoke with Barb, State Apiarist yesterday on the requirements of the inspector. Due to funding, Highland County will most likely have an inspector as needed or can inspect on request only. ie: independent contractor.

ORC states we may appoint and if appointed, pay a "salary". Does everyone constitute this as being an employee and as such, accrue leave and PERS, covered under workers' compensation? Thanks.
