CARROLL, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded the employee continuing partial incapacity benefits, with an assigned weekly earning capacity of $155.00. The self-insurer argues that the judge’s decision fails to adequately address the employee’s present incapacity, in particular by ignoring testimony of his post-injury work activities. We agree that the judge needs to make significantly more detailed findings on the employee’s vocational profile, and explain why it is that the employee’s ability to earn is accurately reflected in the assigned $155.00 weekly earning capacity. We therefore recommit the case.
