Workers' compensation—To maintain the privilege of self-insurance, an employer must pay all compensation as required by Ohio's workers' compensation laws—An employer's obligation to reimburse Bureau of Workers' Compensation for relief-fund benefits is separate and distinct from its obligation to pay injured workers their awarded compensation—Relief-fund benefits may not be used to "offset" an incorrect payment of permanent-total-disability compensation—Court of appeals' judgment affirmed.

Objections to magistrate's decision overruled and writ of mandamus denied because employer failed to show it had a clear legal right to reimbursement of disabled workers' relief fund benefit payments, or that BWC had a clear legal duty to reimburse those payments, when both the employer and BWC operated under a mutual mistake of fact that permanent total disability compensation and disabled workers' relief fund benefits were being paid at the proper rates at the time the payments were made.
