NESTLE's ICE CREAM COMPANY, LLC v. WORKERS' COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD and KEN RYE
Employer's petition for reconsideration, which was filed and served more than 20 days from the date of service of the WCJ's original award but within 20 days of service of the amended award, was timely where the amendment increased the amount of benefits. While an amendment correcting a clerical error will not extend the time to move for reconsideration, a benefits increase cannot be so characterized, and WCAB's contrary ruling was unreasonable and not entitled to deference.
