This case concerns an applicant's claim that his employer violated Labor Code section 132a by failing to offer him a return-to-work position on his original shift and pay rate. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the trial judge's decision, finding no violation as the employer had no policy of returning injured employees to their prior shifts and the available positions were filled. The Board also upheld the denial of reimbursement for self-procured treatment, as this issue was not properly raised at trial.
