The defendant sought reconsideration of the WCJ's award, arguing the calculation of applicant's average weekly earnings (AWE) was incorrect. The WCJ based the AWE on applicant's recent 40-hour work weeks at $46.00 per hour, totaling $1,840.00. The Board denied reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's calculation based on Labor Code § 4453(c)(1), as applicant was demonstrably working full-time hours immediately prior to injury. Furthermore, the Board noted that even under § 4453(c)(4), considering earning capacity, the applicant's overall circumstances supported the finding.
