Kama Willis Jamison — ADJ15294472

Applicant Kama Willis Jamison, a 48-year-old rehabilitation counselor, sustained an admitted industrial injury to her low back on January 5, 2021, while working for 5 Acres. She received temporary disability benefits beginning February 3, 2021, which the defendant stopped on October 4, 2021. The WCJ found that 5 Acres made a bona fide offer of modified/alternative work (via temporary assignment with Friends Helping Friends) that applicant refused without good cause, terminating her entitlement to additional temporary disability. Applicant petitioned for reconsideration, arguing the offer was made by a non-employer and that the decision was not supported by substantial evidence. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration, finding the offer letters were on 5 Acres letterhead, signed by HR staff, and that applicant would remain a 5 Acres employee.
