Purpose
To deposit employer remittances from initial wage determinations and to hold in escrow, wages and penalties assessed by the Commission if the party required to pay said wages or penalties files a petition for judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction contesting the final order. Claims that are not appealed are paid from this fund by processing separate claims through the Comptroller, plus any accrued interest. Appealed claims, after judicial review, are remitted to either the claimant or the party assessed the wage payment or the penalty plus the interest accrued on the escrowed amount.
