Opinion
November 16, 1943.
Appeal from State Industrial Board.
Claimant was employed in a factory engaged in making wool clips and in the bailing of rags wherein machinery and presses were in operation. He was sixteen years of age and had graduated from high school. He was employed illegally in violation of section 131 Lab. of the Labor Law because a standard employment certificate or vacation permit was not kept on file in the office of the employer. A previous award was made against the employer and insurance carrier. This present award is a so-called additional double indemnity award pursuant to section 14-a of the Workmen's Compensation Law because of the illegal employment and is made against the employer alone. Award affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. All concur.
