Average weekly wage is calculated by dividing the earnings from the 52 weeks before the accident by 52, to arrive at an average weekly wage. Each state is different regarding overtime. When overtime hours are included, theyre added in at the straight time rate. Since states handle this issue differently, so you should talk to a lawyer in your state.
