How am I paid when on Workers Compensation?

The payments that an injured member receives as a result of making a claim are called Weekly Benefits. These payments are in replace of the wages that the member would normally receive.

The payment is calculated on the averaging of the previous earnings in the last 12 months or the weeks earnings immediately prior to the injury. The member will be paid whichever is the greater amount.

The payments for Workers Compensation are paid as follows:

• 100% of the weekly payment for the first 13 weeks
• 85% of the weekly payment from week 13 until week 78
• 80% of the weekly payment from week 78 until 9 years.

Workers Compensation Medical Certificates must be provided for all time off.
