MANUEL REYES vs. LF STAFFING SERVICES INCORPORATED, AIG administered by SPECIALTY RISK SERVICES

In this case, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a WCJ's decision concerning applicant Manuel Reyes' industrial injury. While applicant's contentions regarding temporary disability and penalties were denied, the Board rescinded the entire decision to allow the WCJ to re-evaluate applicant's average weekly earnings. The Board found the current earnings calculation potentially flawed due to applicant's history as an intermittent temporary employee with irregular hours and varied pay rates. Further development of the record on earnings is required before a new, unified decision can be issued.
