Summary

Defendant Macy's filed a petition for removal challenging the WCJ's May 14, 2025 order that rescinded an April 7, 2025 dismissal of applicant Lashonda Johnson's claim. Defendant argued that applicant's petition for reconsideration was untimely, depriving the Appeals Board of jurisdiction to act on the dismissal order. The Board found that because the dismissal order was served on a party in Kentucky, the filing period was extended by 10 days under WCAB Rule 10605(a)(2), giving all parties 30 days total to file. Since applicant filed on day 29, the petition was timely, and the WCJ properly acted within 15 days by rescinding the order. The Board denied removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm.
