Workers' Comp – Marketing Residual Capacity – Good Faith

A 49-year-old claimant who drove a bus for 24 years, but was precluded from continuing that employment by a work-related neck and lower back injury, has adequately marketed his residual work capacity where he took a job in the mortgage industry, made a significant effort to learn that business and has begun earning substantial commissions in his new job.

Decision for claimant affirmed.
