waiver.

The director or his designee may for any reason appear before
the hearing examiner or in the district court and defend against
any claim and shall in all respects have the same rights of
defense as the employer. Failure to contest a claim does not
constitute waiver by the director of his right to participate in
further proceedings concerning the award where he does not
appear and defend at the original hearing or trial.
