CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the original decision, and found the applicant was solely employed by Garnet Protective Services, not Joseph's Cafe. The Board further determined the applicant did not sustain an industrial injury on July 12, 2007. The majority concluded the applicant's commute to an extra shift did not constitute a special mission and fell under the "going and coming" rule. A dissenting commissioner argued the extra shift constituted a special mission, making the injury compensable.
