Ogden v. Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office / Florida Sheriffs Risk Management Fund (FSRMF)

JCC Weiss (Ft. Myers)(Rex Hurley)(3-15-21) – Granted E/C’s Motion for Summary Final Order.  Claimant’s Petition requested “authorization of full pay status pursuant to section 440.15(11), Florida Statutes.” The E/C argued the JCC does not have jurisdiction over full-pay status under section 440.15(11). Claimant argued that a request for full-pay status is equivalent to a request for seeking reinstatement of leave time.  The JCC found the claimant was not seeking payment of temporary indemnity benefits that would result in an “award” of indemnity benefits.  Claimant provided no legal authority that the JCC has jurisdiction over personal leave matters.   Click here to view Order
