Dwc Form 3 PDF Details

In the realm of workers' compensation in Texas, the DWC 3 form plays a pivotal role in ensuring that injured employees receive the benefits due to them. This Employer's Wage Statement is mandated by both the Texas Workers' Compensation Act and Workers’ Compensation rules. Its core purpose is to communicate an employee's wage details to the workers' compensation insurance carrier. These details are crucial for calculating the Average Weekly Wage (AWW) of the employee, serving as the basis for establishing the benefits entitlement. The AWW calculation draws from the wages earned during the 13 weeks immediately preceding the injury. It encompasses all forms of remuneration, highlighting the thorough approach taken to ensure fair compensation. The directive clearly stipulates the timely filing of a complete wage statement, underlining the penalties for non-compliance which aim to underscore the importance of accuracy and promptness. Furthermore, it provides guidance on the reporting process, accommodating various employment types and wage reporting frequencies to reflect the diverse workforce covered under the compensation act. This detailed instruction not only enhances clarity for employers but also underscores the statutory commitment to safeguarding employee rights in the aftermath of workplace injuries.

CARRIER’S CLAIM #

Initial Amended EMPLOYER’S WAGE STATEMENT

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 not to exceed $500.00 for an initial offense and not to exceed $10,000.00 for a repeated administrative violation.

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).
