This case involves a housekeeper who sustained a low back injury and was offered modified work. The applicant refused the modified shift due to significant childcare expenses, which would have resulted in minimal net earnings. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board rescinded the prior decision that denied temporary disability, finding the record needed further development on the applicant's earning capacity and childcare costs. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine entitlement to temporary total disability indemnity.
