On January 12, 2016, Mark Powers petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review a Final Decree of the Appellate Division of the Workers' Compensation Court, which was issued on December 23, 2015. That decree denied and dismissed Mr. Powers's appeal, in accordance with a written decision of the Appellate Division on December 16, 2015. This Court granted Mr. Powers's petition for a writ of certiorari. Before the Supreme Court, Mr. Powers contended that: (1) he "should not be estopped from arguing that he was a full-time employee working part-time hours simply because a stipulation was entered in the Workers' Compensation Court stating that he was a part-time employee" and (2) "the average weekly wage, as calculated pursuant to [G.L. 1956] § 28-33-20 for the purpose of determining workers' compensation benefits, must include monies received by an employee from the state for hours not worked, pursuant to an approved work-sharing program under [G.L. 1956] § 28-44-69." The Supreme Court held that Mr. Powers was bound by any factual statements contained in the stipulation filed with the Workers' Compensation Court but was not bound by any legal conclusion set forth in the stipulation. The Court further held that monies received pursuant to the work-sharing benefit provisions of § 28-44-69 should not be included in calculating an employee's average weekly wage for the purpose of workers' compensation benefits pursuant to § 28-33-20. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decree of the Appellate Division of the Workers' Compensation Court.
