Compensation shall bear interest at the legal rate from the day an award is made by either an administrative law judge or the full Workers' Compensation Commission on all accrued and unpaid compensation.
Workers' Compensation Rule 20, which was promulgated to implement a medical cost containment program with respect to compensable injuries, does not relieve a workers' compensation insurance carrier from the obligation to pay interest under this section. Burlington Indus. v. Pickett, 64 Ark. App. 67, 983 S.W.2d 126 (1998).
Computation.
Interest upon accrued and unpaid installments of compensation is to be computed from the dates when they should have been paid, beginning, however, not earlier than the date on which a referee or the full commission first enters an award allowing or denying the claim. Clemons v. Bearden Lumber Co., 240 Ark. 571, 401 S.W.2d 16 (1966).
Medical Payments.
Interest payable under this section includes interest on direct medical payments. Eureka Log Homes v. Mantonya, 28 Ark. App. 180, 772 S.W.2d 365 (1989).
