K. Hall — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2015 CanLII 64098

Employer granted 75% SIEF cost relief due to worker's moderate pre-existing degenerative knee condition.

The employer appealed a decision denying cost relief under the Second Injury and Enhancement Fund (SIEF).

The worker, a 57-year-old mold maker, tripped at work and sustained a right knee injury that required surgery.

The Appeals Resolution Officer found that the worker's pre-existing moderate degenerative changes and diabetes prolonged his recovery period.

Given the minor severity of the accident and the moderate significance of the pre-existing condition, the employer was granted 75% cost relief under the SIEF policy.
