CompFox AI Summary
This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision grants reconsideration to remove Beverly Connolly as a named employer, as she was never properly joined in the proceedings. The Board affirms the original finding that Gary Reynolds was an employee of Michael Thomas Connolly, based on Labor Code § 2750.5's conclusive presumption for work exceeding $500 when the worker lacks a valid contractor's license. The employer's arguments regarding estoppel, due process, and the UEBTF's joinder were rejected. The Board found that Reynolds was not an excluded employee under Labor Code § 3352(h) as the work was for Connolly's rental business, not his personal residence.
