Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: May 09, 2007
The issues to be resolved in this proceeding concern whether the Petitioner was operating its restaurant business in violation of Chapter 440, Florida Statutes, the Florida Workers' Compensation Law, by failing to have required workers' compensation coverage. The related issues are whether the Department should therefore issue a Stop Work Order, whether a penalty should be imposed for so operating and what the correct penalty should be.Respondent established that the stop work order was properly served and that Petitioner was on notice of need to stop work until workers` compensation obtained. Petitioner failed to do so. The fine calculation was shown to be proper.
