OPINION
ALARID, J.
{1} This case requires us to decide whether the fee shifting provision of NMSA 1978, § 52 — 1—54(F)(4) (1987, as amended through 1993), applies to a stipulated compensation order pursuant to which a worker recovers benefits in excess of an earlier offer of judgment that was rejected by the employer. We hold that Section 52-1-54(F)(4) applies to the stipulated compensation order entered by agreement of the parties and that pursuant to Section 52-1-54(F)(4), the employer is responsible for paying one hundred percent of the worker’s attorney’s fees.
