Injured employees are reimbursed at a state-mandated rate, which is approximately 75% of the net weekly wage, based upon a calculation of their average weekly wage prior to the injury. The employer is required to complete a state wage statement to determine the average weekly wages. Overtime and bonuses are used in the computation of the average weekly wage.
