Workers' Compensation Contingent Overtime Wage Calculation Dispute
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute centers on the calculation of workers' compensation benefits, specifically regarding whether certain pre-injury wages, which were contingent on the employee working overtime in specific capacities that were later unavailable, should be included in the average weekly wage calculation. The court reasoned that under the governing statute, the average weekly wage must be based on the employee's actual earnings over the relevant preceding period, and since the basis for the contingent overtime pay no longer existed, including that expected future income would result in an improper, speculative calculation; therefore, the court affirmed the denial of benefits based on that inflated wage figure, upholding the lower determination.
