Sec. 702.233  Penalty for failure to pay without an award.

    If any installment of compensation payable without an award is not 
paid within 14 days after it becomes due, there shall be added to such 
unpaid installment an amount equal to 10 per centum thereof which shall 
be paid at the same time as, but in addition to, such installment unless 
the employer files notice of controversion in accordance with 
Sec. 702.261, or unless such nonpayment is excused by the district 
director after a showing by the employer that owing to conditions over 
which he had no control such installment could not be paid within the 
period prescribed for the payment.
