This case involves an employer appealing a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision imposing sanctions and attorney's fees. The sanctions arose from the employer's claims examiner's willful failure to timely provide applicant's earnings information as ordered. The WCAB denied reconsideration, upholding the sanctions and the amended attorney's fee award of nearly $3,700, finding the examiner's testimony regarding compliance lacked credibility. The employer's petition was deemed timely filed as it addressed the amended order which substantially increased the attorney's fee.
