Ryan Alternative Staffing, Inc.

Workers' compensation—Nothing in R.C. 4123.56(A) or Ohio Adm.Code 4121 3 32(A)(6) permits an injured worker to receive temporary-total-disability compensation after refusing a good-faith offer of suitable alternative employment, even if the injured worker exercised good faith in refusing the offer—Orders of the Industrial Commission's hearing officers exhibit confusion about the correct standard under which employer's good faith is to be determined—Court of appeals' judgment vacated and limited writ issued ordering the commission to reconsider this case under the proper standard.

Objections sustained writ of mandamus granted. In the context of awarding temporary total disability compensation, the commission cannot consider the employee's good-faith reasons for rejecting an employer's offer of suitable alternative employment when the commission has already determined that the employer's offer was made in good faith. The commission may consider the employee's reasons for rejecting the emmployer's offer of suitable alternative employment only in the context of determining whether the employer extended the offer in good faith.
