Average Weekly Wage (AWW) and Recalculations

 

 

 

Often, errors are made in the calculation of your AWW. It is important to make certain your rate is properly calculated because you are paid 2/3 of your AWW from the 13th week and onward while you are unable to work (as certified by your doctor of record for allowed conditions). If your rate is wrong, your compensations payments will also be incorrect.

There is a simple formula to calculate the AWW but in many instances certain statutory exceptions may apply.

For example, if you were unable to work a full 52 weeks prior to your injury due to illness, layoff, or other reasons beyond your control, you may be entitled to a higher AWW. If you are injured on your first job and are of a young age, you may qualify for a special AWW rate.

If you fall under the above exceptions, you should consult with a workers' compensation lawyer for the preparation of a wage affidavit seeking a higher AWW, based upon the special circumstances statutes. This may entail a hearing before the Industrial Commission.
