Summary

Applicant Patricia Gaitan and defendant St. Joseph's Medical Center of Stockton (permissibly self-insured, administered by Sedgwick) entered into Stipulations with Request for Award on January 9, 2023, identifying applicant as a technician employed by St. Joseph's. On January 11, 2023, the WCJ approved the Stipulations but the Award erroneously also named 'E.M. Pizza, Inc.' as a defendant, an entity never mentioned in the Stipulations. Defendant promptly sought correction and ultimately filed a Petition for Reconsideration. Although the petition appeared late, the Board found service of the Award was defective because the WCJ failed to serve applicant, making the petition timely. The Board concluded the inclusion of E.M. Pizza, Inc. was a clerical error, rescinded the Award, and returned the matter to the WCJ to issue a new Award conforming to the Stipulations.
