CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to clarify an award finding the employer violated Labor Code §132a by discriminating against the applicant due to industrial injuries. The WCAB affirmed the original decision but amended it to explicitly include lost job benefits and attorney costs, directing the parties to adjust these amounts with trial level jurisdiction reserved. The employer's petition for reconsideration was deficient for failing to detail the specific grounds and evidence supporting their claims of business necessity and lack of prima facie discrimination.
