Calculating wages received for teachers

[LeglEgl]

Calculating the AWW (average weekly wage) of an IW is complicated. There are literally 5 different methods of calculation.

The key element here is the 52 week employment period. NC calculates AWW based on the earnings of the IW in the 52 weeks prior to the accident. I would have to make an educated guess that your 10-month contract would have to be converted to a 52-week schedule, since WC benefits are paid weekly.

Essentially, your 10-month pay system is converted to a 52-week pay system for purposes of benefit calculation. So, if you were not paid salary for the 2 months of employment, it's much like spreading your 10-month salary over 12 months.
