LOSS OF OVERTIME DUE TO INJURY IS COMPENSABLE In Voss v Amsted Industries, Inc, 2004 ACO #35, the Workers' Compensation Appellate Commission held that, where plaintiff's inability to perform overtime work was not due to a general reduction in overtime for all employees, but due to injury-related restrictions, the employee was entitled to receive weekly partial wage loss benefits to compensate him for the loss of overtime. The case suggests, however, that if the lack of overtime resulted from a general reduction in overtime for all similarly situated employees, an argument may exist under Sington that the loss of overtime is not compensable because the wage loss would not be due to the injury. The Appellate Commission would distinguish the previous Court of Appeals decision in Kurz v Michigan Wheel Corporation, 236 Mich App 508 (1999), on the basis that it was decided under the now discredited Haske definition of disability. 03/29/04
