Gomez, Salvatore

Salvador Gomez filed a Petition for Removal challenging a WCJ decision in his claim against Parco Inc., a permissibly self-insured employer. The WCJ's decision contained a finding on the threshold issue of employment (a final order), but the petitioner only challenged an interlocutory finding within the decision. The Appeals Board treated the petition as one seeking reconsideration because the decision resolved a threshold issue, but applied the removal standard since only the interlocutory finding was disputed. Applying that standard, the Board found the petitioner failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. The Petition was denied.
