CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed a prior decision finding the applicant's average weekly earnings to be $1,492.25, resulting in a temporary disability rate of $994.83. The WCAB gave great weight to the workers' compensation judge's (WCJ) credibility determinations, finding no substantial evidence to warrant rejection. The WCJ relied on the applicant's W2 information for 2018 and 2019 to calculate earnings due to inconsistencies and lack of clarification in the provided pay stub evidence. The WCJ's calculation closely approximated the defendant's calculation, which was adopted by the WCAB.
