Sublett-Bowman v. Unifi / Delta Airlines / Gallagher Bassett

JCC Moneyham (Panama City Beach) (Matt Bennett)(12-14-22) – The JCC accepted the E/C’s AWW, denying a claimed increase, and awarded a finite period of TTD benefits.  The claimant sought inclusion of an unpaid $750.00 summer sign-on bonus in the AWW.  The bonus was never paid.  The employer testified that the claimant came to work at the end of the summer and as such, was not eligible for the summer sign-on bonus.  Since the bonus was never paid, the JCC did not include the bonus in the AWW.  The JCC did award a period of TTD benefits based upon the opinions of Dr. Nazir that the claimant was unable to work.  Click here to view Order
