Perry v. Sturdevant Manufacturing Co.

I respectfully dissent. At the time of the board’s decision, MCL 418.801(2); MSA 17.237(801X2) provided:

"If weekly compensation benefits, accrued weekly benefits, medical bills, or travel allowance are not paid within 30 days after becoming due and payable in cases where there is no ongoing dispute, $50.00 per day shall be added and paid to the worker for each day over 30 days in which the compensation, medical bills, or travel allowance are not paid. Not more than $1,500.00 in total may be added pursuant to this subsection.” (Emphasis supplied.)
