The Virginia Workers Compensation Commission has established minimum and maximum rates for compensation benefits. A compensation rate is based on the lost wage benefits a worker is entitled to receive. These rates are paid in weekly benefits or TTD benefits for the length of time the Commission allows. After that, the compensation rate may change based on minimum and maximum rates. Here is a sample of a workers compensation wage chart. These rates can differ from state to state, and they may vary from one company to another.

To determine your eligibility for benefits, it is necessary to know your average weekly wage. In Virginia, the Workers’ Compensation Commission uses a wage chart to calculate average weekly wages. Wages are based on average weekly earnings, including overtime and tips. However, the compensation rate also includes perquisites, such as meals, temporary housing, and laundry. For each of these factors, you should consult with a Virginia workers’ compensation lawyer to find out which amount is appropriate for your case.

In order to determine your average weekly wage, you must gather your pay stubs for the 52 weeks prior to your injury. Then, calculate your gross earnings and divide them by 52 to arrive at an average weekly wage. This average wage is the basis for other benefits provided by the VA workers’ compensation act. Even if your doctor has not taken you off work for the duration of your injury, you should still calculate your average weekly wage to understand your eligibility for benefits.
