This case concerns a dispute over a $2,500 payment within a Compromise and Release (C&R) agreement between Leanna Lee and Sourcecorp, Inc. Initially, the C&R stipulated this sum was for Lee's Labor Code section 132a claim and to be paid directly by the employer. The employer's insurer later requested the payment be redirected to applicant's attorney for fees, prompting an amended order from the WCJ. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding the WCJ improperly altered the C&R without party consent or proper procedure, and thus rescinded the amended order and the original order, remanding the case for further proceedings.
