Haldiman v. American Fine Foods

JOHNSON, Justice.

This is a worker’s compensation case. The sole issue presented is whether an employee for whom retraining has been authorized or ordered pursuant to I.C. § 72-450 is entitled to an additional allowance for the expense of traveling to and from her place of retraining. We hold that the employee is entitled to have the employer furnish reasonable travel accommo*956dations to and from the retraining facility approved by the Commission. We vacate the order denying a travel allowance and remand to the Commission to determine whether the retraining facility was approved.
