The California Supreme Court has directed the Second District Court of Appeal to re-visit the issue of whether the County of Santa Barbara violates Labor Section 132a by requiring that industrially injured workers use vacation time when attending medical appointments for their injuries, but allowing non-industrially injured workers to use sick time.

The Second District had summarily denied the worker's request for review and will now be required to re-evaluate the applicant's claim.

The case is Anderson v. W.C.A.B. (Santa Barbara County), S146570.
