What the panel ordered

What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The pay stub from Brothers Roadlines, Inc. showing applicant was paid a salary including the injury date, unrebutted testimony that the pay stub was from SCIF records, and lack of contrary evidence supported the finding that applicant was employed by Brothers Roadlines, Inc. at injury time.
