CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Lana King's petition for reconsideration, finding she was not entitled to temporary disability benefits after voluntarily retiring. The Board reasoned that she received her full salary during the period she was on modified duty, even if the work was unengaging, and the law does not require employers to offer work to retired employees. Defendant's petition was dismissed as moot because an amended award already addressed their concerns.
