CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied York Risk Services Group's petition for reconsideration of a $$ 200.00$ sanction. The sanction was imposed for York's failure to appear at a hearing for which it was properly served by mail. York failed to provide good cause for its non-appearance, and its assertion of resolving issues telephonically did not excuse the failure to appear. The Board upheld the WCJ's finding that the notice was properly served and no reasonable excuse was offered.
