The Board found that despite the applicant's disability retirement, the employer's failure to offer modified or regular work within 60 days of the permanent and stationary date triggered a 15% increase in permanent disability payments under Labor Code section 4658(d)(2). This obligation arose even though the applicant retired due to disability and did not voluntarily resign. The Board affirmed the award but increased it by 15% due to the employer's inaction.
