The appellant, a registered nurse working on an 'as-needed' basis for home-care agencies, was injured in a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer re-classified her weekly income benefits from section 12 (employment-related) to section 13 (non-earner) because she was not on an active assignment at the time of the accident.
The arbitrator upheld this re-classification.
On appeal, the Director's Delegate rescinded the arbitrator's order, finding that the appellant maintained an ongoing employment relationship with the agencies despite the fluctuating nature of her assignments.
The appeal was allowed, and the appellant was found to qualify for weekly income benefits under section 12(2) of the Schedule.
