A Connecticut Appellate Court panel affirmed the decision of the Compensation Review Board to uphold the Workers’ Compensation commissioner for the Eighth District’s determination that a per diem employee was not entitled to full salary disability benefits.

The plaintiff, George Kelly, argued that the commissioner’s decision should not have relied on a supersedence appendix and cost sheet for “substantive purposes” and failed to assign the burden of proving the plaintiff was not entitled to benefits to the defendant, the opinion said.
