QUESTION
How do they calculate my paycheck?
Asked on Jan 25th, 2016 on Workers Compensation - Florida
More details to this question:
I was told to add last 13 paychecks, divide by 13 and 65% of that would be my check. That's below minimum wage. 313.65 for 40hrs. Is our government that sorry or I'm I being taken for a ride? Been doing this for 2 months now. I have stuff being shut off because of nonpayment. Please help if you can.

The calculation on your compensation rate is the 13 weeks of earnings prior to your accident x 2/3. If that is below minimum wage because of your actual earnings that is the amount. You should know that that amount is not taxable as your wages are taxable. For example, If average weekly wage is $313.65, the compensation rate for temporary total benefits would be $209.10. the temporary partial rate would be $200.74. Seek legal guidance if you have further questions.
