FERMIN ANTONIO AMAYA vs. JOAQUIN VARGAS FLORES, UNINSURED EMPLOYERS FUND, JOANNE L. CORDOVA, FIRE INSURANCE EXCHANGE

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration for the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF) to clarify findings regarding the applicant's employment status and the UEF's involvement. The WCJ's prior decision rescinded a supposed dismissal of UEF and found the applicant was not an employee of the homeowner, but the record lacked clarity on these points. The Board found the WCJ's decision lacked sufficient factual basis and legal reasoning required by statute. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
