1. 1. If an insurer, employer or claimant, or the representative of an insurer, employer or claimant, appeals the decision of an appeals officer, that decision is not stayed unless a stay is granted by the appeals officer or the district court within 30 days after the date on which the decision was rendered.

2. 2. An appeals officer or district court shall not:

   1. (a) Grant a motion to stay the enforcement of the decision of an appeals officer unless the appeals officer or district court makes specific findings of fact and conclusions of law that the moving party seeking the stay has established that:

      1. (1) The moving party has a reasonable likelihood of success in the appeal on the factual merits or as a matter of law;
      2. (2) The moving party will suffer irreparable harm if the stay is denied; and
      3. (3) The nonmoving party will not suffer irreparable harm if the stay is granted.
   2. (b) For the purpose of making findings and conclusions relating to irreparable harm pursuant to paragraph (a), consider the ability to recoup benefits and compensation provided by an industrial insurer to an injured employee during the pendency of the appeal.
