Practice question
Before the appeal deadline, an employer moves to reduce the appeal bond but posts no bond and states no meritorious basis. It assumes the motion alone stops the appeal period. No other saving circumstance is asserted. What does Rule VI provide?
- Every reduction motion automatically tolls the period
- The employer never needs a bond in a monetary award appeal
- The motion alone does not stop the period; the rule requires meritorious grounds and a reasonable posted bond for the prescribed reduction mechanism
- The worker must supply the employer’s bond
- A reduction request automatically cancels the monetary award
