The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the School District's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's finding that Education Code benefits are distinct from temporary disability benefits under Labor Code section 4656. The Board clarified that Education Code section 44043 integrates these benefits to prevent an injured employee from exceeding their full salary, rather than equating them for the purpose of the 104-week temporary disability limit. Therefore, payments made under the Education Code do not count towards the temporary disability payment cap.
