S. Yjo — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2019 CanLII 103828

Loss of earnings benefits denied because the worker refused suitable modified work offered by the employer.

The worker suffered a left knee sprain after a slip and fall and sought loss of earnings benefits.

The employer offered modified work from home at full wages, which the worker declined, stating his doctor authorized him off work.

The Appeals Resolution Officer found the modified work was suitable, consistent with the worker's functional abilities, and would have fully restored his earnings.

The worker's objection was denied, and entitlement to loss of earnings benefits was denied.
