What are average weekly wages and how are they calculated?
Every injured individual who received an injury at work, but is unable to return to work for more than 21 days, is entitled to receive 2/3 of his los average weekly wages. These wages are a subject to the state maximum and minimum payment, and will be provided to the injured individual along with workers compensation.
However, it is good to keep in mind that you may be tricked by the insurance company into settling for the lesser deal. Namely, they do not calculate your monthly or annual bonuses, nor do they take into account your overtime paid work. When they calculate your weekly wages, they take your hourly rate and multiply it by 40 hours, and then compare the results with your weekly checks. Usually, you will receive much lesser wages than you are owed.
