Finke v. Pasadena Yacht & Tennis Club
22 FLW D1962
JCC, in determining claimant's entitlement to wage loss
for a two-week period, determined that the claimant had
done a good faith work search for one week of the
period but for the second week, had not. Accordingly,
wage loss awarded for the one week and denied for the
week in which there was no valid work search. Court
rejected claimant's argument that JCC is required to
award benefits for the entire two-week period after
finding that the claimant's work search was adequate in
the first week. Competent and substantial evidence
supported the judge's decision that claimant had not
performed a good faith work search during second week.
Findings on the adequacy of a work search are factual
findings and will go undisturbed on appeal in the
absence of a clear abuse of discretion.
