Does workers comp pay 100 percent of regular wages?
In general, workers' compensation provides a portion of the employee's regular wages while they are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. The specific percentage varies by state and may be subject to various factors, such as the employee's pre-injury earnings and any applicable statutory limits. While some jurisdictions offer up to 100% of regular wages, it is common to receive around two-thirds (66.67%) of the average weekly wage up to a certain maximum amount. It is important to consult with the relevant workers' compensation agency or legal professionals to understand the specific provisions applicable in your jurisdiction.
