Penalties
When the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act and the Board’s supersedeas regulations are read together, the conclusion is that an employer can be deemed in default only if it fails to seek supersedeas while pursuing additional review or refuses to make a compensation payment after its supersedeas request is denied; to hold otherwise would render the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board’s supersedeas regulations and authority a nullity.
