Summary

Tim Schmidt, a parole agent for CDCR, sustained admitted industrial injury to his ears, lower back, right knee, and hearing loss over a cumulative period from March 1, 1992 through March 28, 2012. The WCJ found him entitled to temporary disability benefits from March 28, 2012 through June 1, 2015 but did not specify an indemnity rate in the F&O, while referencing Labor Code section 4661.5. Defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the F&O failed to state a TD rate, that section 4661.5 was not an issue at trial, and that there was no meeting of the minds regarding the maximum rate stipulation, which it characterized as a unilateral mistake. The Board granted reconsideration, finding it unclear from the record whether the parties actually stipulated to the maximum TD rate, particularly as applied to section 4661.5. A final decision after reconsideration was deferred pending further study of the factual and legal issues.
