28 COR 40-4407 [20,071R]
PENALTIES - FINANCIAL HARDSHIP
The Appeals Board denied Employer's petition to reconsider the penalty agreement reached in a pre-hearing conference, finding that Employer did not raise one of the five grounds for reconsideration. The Board also set out its guidelines for granting penalty relief in financial hardship cases, noting that improperly granted penalty relief does not accomplish the deterrent purpose of penalty assessment, which is a primary purpose of the Cal/OSH Act.
