Description
Howard E. Stevison (employee) filed a complaint against Qualified Personnel, Inc. (employer), seeking workmen's compensation
benefits for an on-the-job injury which occurred during the employee's first week of employment. The employee also requested
imposition of the statutory ten percent penalty against the employer for late payment of compensation. Although the employer
had already paid some workmen's compensation benefits to the employee, a dispute between the parties existed as to whether
further payments were due. After an ore tenus proceeding, the trial court issued its final judgment, in which its findings
of fact and Conclusions of law were embodied. The trial court found that the employee continued to suffer a temporary total
disability due to injuries from the accident and ordered the employer to pay workmen's compensation benefits accordingly.
The trial court, however, refused to impose the ten percent penalty for late payment. The employee brings this appeal. On appeal, the employee raises two issues for our consideration. Initially, the employee contends that the trial court erred
in refusing to impose the statutory ten percent penalty against the employer for its failure to pay compensation.
