CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of the denial of his claim for an increased temporary disability indemnity rate. The Board adopted the judge's report, which found that certain deductions from the applicant's pay, including 401(k) contributions and insurance premiums, were properly classified as fringe benefits and excluded from the average weekly wage calculation. Furthermore, the applicant was bound by a prior stipulation agreeing to a specific temporary disability indemnity rate, absent a showing of good cause to be relieved from that stipulation.
