CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued that Labor Code §4850 salary continuation benefits should not trigger the notice requirements of Labor Code §4061, thereby preventing the applicant's permanent disability from being rated under the 1997 Schedule. The Board affirmed the judge's finding that the defendant failed to provide the required §4061 notice, entitling the applicant to a 24% permanent partial disability rating under the 1997 PDRS.
