Krajewski v. Atlantic Machine Tool Works, Inc., 4500 CRB-6-02-3 (March 7, 2003).

Board noted that parking costs and taxicab fees are not generally authorized (absent door-to-door transportation that is medically required) as reimbursable costs. See also, Krajewski, § 31-278, § 31-284b, § 31-290a, § 31-301. Appeal Procedure, § 31-301. Factual Findings, § 31-301-9, § 31-313, § 31-315; prior decisions at Krajewski, 15 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 44, 2120 CRB-6-94-8 (Nov. 28, 1995), § 31-308a; Krajewski, 11 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 54, 1387 CRD-6-92-2 (April 1, 1993), § 31-290a.

Romano v. Logistec of Connecticut, 4199 CRB-3-00-2 (May 1, 2001).

Trier properly denied claimant’s request for payment under § 31-312 C.G.S. Claimant did not filed a claim under Workers’ Compensation Act, proceeding instead under Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.

Sweeney v. Waterbury, 10 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 240, 1225 CRD-5-91-5 (January 7, 1993).

Claimant, a school teacher, was paid full salary during the period of temporary total incapacity. During that period claimant received medical treatment. Claimant sought entitlement to both full salary under a collective bargaining agreement and compensation benefits for time spent receiving medical treatment. CRB has limited jurisdiction which does not permit interpretation of contractual agreements. Further, if employer has paid a greater sum than amounts due under § 31-307 and § 31-312 the CRB has no power to order further sums to be paid. See also, Sweeney, § 31-310.

Fournier v. Sears, Roebuck & Company, 9 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 51, 908 CRD-7-89-8 (February 4, 1991).

Remanded to determine if claimant was receiving or eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits in order to ascertain entitlement for compensation for time lost for medical treatment during non-work hours.
