The Michigan Disability Prevention Study: Research Highlights, H. Allan Hunt, Rochelle Virginia Habeck

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

This 3-year collaborative research project was designed to provide empirical evidence to substantiate the impact of various employer policies and practices on the prevention and management of workplace disability. It studied a random sample of 220 Michigan establishments with more than 100 employees from seven different industries who responded to a mail survey in the first half of 1991. The study correlates differences in employer-reported levels of achievement on policy and practice dimensions with performance on disability outcome measures, while controlling for a set of establishment characteristics in a multivariate regression analysis.

The court of appeals held that it is permissible for the worker's Compensation Commission to make a credibility finding which differs from …

Kroger Co. V. Morris: The Diminution Of Hearing Officers, Cullen D. Seltzer

University of Richmond Law Review

In Kroger Co. v. Morris the Court of Appeals of Virginia reached two contradictory conclusions. On one hand the court held that the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission could overrule a deputy commissioner's fact findings based solely on evidence contained in the record below. On the other hand, the court concluded that it was itself unable to make such fact findings based solely on the record.
