DIANA HUMPHREY vs. MCDONALD'S, CALIFORNIA MUTUAL BENEFIT CORPORATION

This case involves an employer's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) award regarding an employee's shoulder injury. The employer argued the temporary disability rate was incorrectly determined and disputed the period for which benefits were awarded, citing a prior agreement and evidence of return to work. The WCAB granted reconsideration, amended the award to defer the issue of the temporary disability period, and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings and medical evidence to determine that period.
