CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant sought to overturn a finding that the applicant sustained a work-related injury and that it was not barred by the post-termination defense. The Board found that the defendant failed to meet its burden of proof to establish termination or layoff under Labor Code section 3600(a)(10). Evidence regarding the applicant's departure from employment was ambiguous, not clearly establishing a termination rather than a voluntary resignation.
