Greenberg v. Cardiology Surgical Association

28 FLW D2256

In accordance with Section 440.20(6), Florida Statutes, a 20% penalty is payable on all non-awarded compensation installments not paid within seven days of the time that such benefits are payable. The court basically determined that any reference in this section to a $5.00 penalty as opposed to a 20% penalty constituted an inadvertence on the part of the legislature in failing to delete that provision. The court also determined that the Division of Workers’ Compensation was incorrect in its interpretation of the provisions of Section 440.20(6) as referenced in Florida Administrative Code Rule 38F-24.0231. Dissenting opinion in part.
