Description
Jerry Leibensperger (Petitioner) petitions for review of an order of the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board) that affirmed the decision of a Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) concluding that Thomas H. Lewis Builders, Inc. (Respondent) was not a statutory employer for purposes of assigning liability for the payment of workers' compensation. Petitioner raises two issues: whether the Board erred in determining that Respondent was not a statutory employer, when Respondent assumed responsibility for the construction project, monitored the pace of the subcontractors' work, urged the subcontractors to complete their work and directed workers to remove debris from the worksite; and whether the Board erred in affirming the WCJ's final decision when the WCJ declined to apply Section 302(a) of the Workers' Compensation Act (Act), Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §461, as interpreted by Delich v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Lyons), 661 A.2d 936 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1995).
