How are Worker’s Earning Details Calculated (PIAWE)?
The ‘WorkCover Employer’s Claim Report’ form (section 6 Workers Earnings detail) requires details of the injured worker’s weekly pay prior to injury. This is the pre-injury average weekly earnings (PIAWE). This is calculated on an individual basis and includes Higher Duties allowances. When calculating the PIAWE for Principal Class Officers’ WorkCover claims, deduct the Employer Superannuation Contribution from their total remuneration package. Please contact the Schools HR Services on 1800 641 943 for advice on the PIAWE calculation.
