The benefit is two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the employee’s gross average weekly wage, subject to certain limits. The average is based on the employee’s wages during the year before the injury. The rate is fixed at the time of the injury, and does not change with changes in the employee’s salary or the statewide average weekly wage. D. What is permanent partial disability benefits?
