How much will the injured employee receive in benefits? How are the payments figured?
An employee is entitled to 66 2/3% of his/her average weekly income as long as the amount is within the established maximum or minimum amounts. To determine this, the employer must submit a wage statement to the insurance carrier. This wage statement will list an injured employee’s gross earnings for the fifty-two (52) weeks prior to the date of injury and should reflect all earnings including overtime. The weekly disability benefit rate may not be higher or lower than maximum and minimum rates in effect on the date the employee was injured.
