AWW for Multiple Jobs?

The MS Court of Appeals recently addressed the issue of calculating the average weekly wage (AWW) for a worker injured on the job and who also works an additional part-time position for the same employer. This claim involved an employee of a school who worked full time as an administrator and part time as a dorm supervisor on an "as needed" basis. The MWCC ruled that AWW may only be calculated using the wages from the job the worker is engaged at the time of injury.The Court of Appeals reversed the MWCC and held that all income from the same employer must be considered when calculating the AWW. This can be quite substantial in certain whole body claims.
