Tactical Herbicides: Exposure and Presumption

Average Weekly Wage in Illinois Workers’ Compensation Claims

If you are injured on the job, the benefits to which you are entitled are in large part based on your average weekly wage. Generally, the average weekly wage is determined by looking back 52 weeks prior to the injury and adding up the total gross wages earned divided by 52 weeks.  Of course, if the injured worker did not work a total of 52 weeks, the wage would typically be the average of the total earned divided by the number of weeks worked.  Overtime is included if regular and mandatory.  The … [Read more...]
