You normally earn $2,000 a month. You are hurt and receive workers' compensation for three months in the amount of $1,320. How much will you lose in total earnings during your recovery period? Step 1 Multiply your monthly wages by the number of months (3). This number is your normal earnings for three months.
Step 2 Multiply your workers' compensation by the number of months (3). This number is your total earnings during your recovery period.
Step 3 Subtract your total workers' compensation (Step 2) from your normal earnings (Step 1). The difference is the answer to this question. |
