CLAIM #

CARRIER’S CLAIM #

Initial Amended EMPLOYER’S WAGE STATEMENT (DWC Form-003)

The Texas Workers' Compensation Act and Workers’ Compensation rules require an employer to provide an Employer's Wage Statement to its workers' compensation insurance carrier (carrier) and the claimant or the claimant’s representative, if any. The purpose of the form is to provide the employee's wage information to the carrier for calculating the employee's Average Weekly Wage (AWW) to establish benefits due to the employee or a beneficiary.

The AWW is based on the wages the employee earned in the 13 weeks immediately preceding the date of injury (or the wage a similar employee earned if the employee did not work the full 13-week period). "Wages" include all forms of remuneration payable to an employee for personal services, including fringe benefits. To simplify filing, employers may file wages in a monthly, biweekly, or weekly manner as discussed below.

NOTE - An employer who fails without good cause to timely file a complete wage statement as required by the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, Texas Labor Code, Section 408.063(c) and Worker’s Compensation Rule 120.4 may be assessed an administrative penalty.

The employer shall timely file a complete wage statement in the form and manner prescribed by the Division.

(1)The wage statement shall be filed (“filed” means received) with the carrier, the claimant, and the claimant's representative (if any) within 30 days of the earliest of:

(A)the employee’s eighth day of disability;

(B)the date the employer is notified that the employee is entitled to income benefits;

(C)the date of the employee’s death as a result of a compensable injury.

(2)The wage statement shall also be filed with the Division within seven days of receiving a request from the Division (Only When Requested).

(3)A subsequent wage statement shall be filed with the carrier, employee, and the employee’s representative (if any) within seven days if any information contained on the previous wage statement changes (such as if the employer discontinues providing a nonpecuniary wage that was initially continued after the date of injury).

WAGE INFORMATION INSTRUCTIONS

Employee Name:

Social Security #:

Date of Injury:

-The employer shall report all wages earned in the 13 weeks immediately preceding the date of injury. If the employee is paid on a monthly or semi-monthly basis, the employer may provide wages for the 3 months preceding the date of injury. Monthly wages may also be converted to weekly wages by dividing the gross monthly amount by 4.34821. If the employee is paid on a biweekly basis, the employer may provide the wages for the 14 weeks preceding the date of injury. When setting the periods to report, the employer may adjust the reporting period backward slightly (up to six days) to line up the reporting timeframes with the employer’s natural pay cycle. However, the employer shall not report wages earned on or after the date of injury.

-If reporting weekly earnings, use all 13 Period Columns below. If reporting 3 months of earnings, either convert the wages to weekly earnings or use the first 3 Period Columns. If reporting 14 weeks of biweekly earnings, use the first 7 Period Columns. In all cases, indicate the dates that each period covers.
