This does not foreclose respondent employer from seeking review of this ruling after the Commission reaches a final decision. In A.O. Smith, the supreme court elected not to dismiss the appeal because the facts were stipulated and the issue concerned the mathematical process to be applied by the Commission in calculating the amount of the award on remand. 109 Ill. 2d. This case is more like Honda of Lisle, even though the Commission in the case at bar did not direct the taking of additional evidence by the arbitrator. On remand, the arbitrator will be required to make multiple findings, any one of which may lead to another appeal by one of the parties.
Piecemeal appeals are to be discouraged.
For the foregoing reasons, the order of the circuit court is vacated, and the cause is remanded to the arbitrator pursuant to the Commisssion's decision for further proceedings.
