#compensationcalculation

Workers' compensation compensation is largely calculated based on the average weekly wage of the injured worker. Temporary total disability (TTD) benefits provide two-thirds of the worker's pay while off work with a doctor's note, although this isn't always automatically paid and may require legal intervention. Permanent partial disability (PPD) benefits are calculated based on the severity of the injury and the worker's average weekly wage, typically paid as a lump sum.
