Gibbs; Midkiff, Muncie & Ross, P.C., on brief), for appellants. (A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for appellee. Holtzman Corp. and Federated Service Ins. Co. (collectively, employer ) appeal a decision of the Workers Compensation Commission. Employer contends the commission erred in: (1) applying the dissimilar employment rule; (2) failing to find Wade Allen Seekford had an increase in earnings post-injury and in refusing to impute post-injury earnings to Seekford; (3) finding Seekford did not return to employment when he began to work for Superior Sealing and Maintenance, Inc. ( Superior ), in April 2009; and (4) failing to find Seekman neglected to report a return to employment and/or increase in earnings to employer when he returned to work for Superior.
