CLAIM #

CARRIER’S CLAIM #

Initial EMPLOYER’S WAGE STATEMENT FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Amended

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 for a school district employee is computed based upon the wages earned in a week. “Wages earned in a week” are equal to the amount that would be deducted from an employee’s salary if the employee were absent from work for one week and the employee did not have personal leave to compensate the employee for the lost wages from that week.

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 Workers' 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.

WAGE INFORMATION FOR SALARIED, HOURLY,

DAILY, & OTHER NON-CONTRACT EMPLOYMENT

-Report the Gross Pecuniary Wages earned in the 13 weeks immediately prior to the date of injury. Consider as earnings amounts from paid holidays and any vacation, personal or sick leave an employee used but not the market value of leave time earned but not used.

-Pecuniary Wages include all wages that are paid to the employee in the form of money. These include, but are not limited to: hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc. wages; salary; tips/gratuities; piecework compensation; monetary allowances; bonuses; and commissions. Earnings are reported in the periods they are earned, NOT when they are paid and some (such as bonuses and commissions) need to be prorated. Pecuniary wages don’t include payments made by an employer to reimburse the employee for the use of the employee's equipment or for paying helpers or to reimburse travel expenses.

-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 may 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.

-If the employee was not employed for 13 continuous weeks before the date of injury, report the wages of an employee who has training, experience, skills & wages comparable to the injured employee AND who performs services/tasks comparable in nature and in number of hours. If no similar employee exists, report the limited available wages earned by the injured employee prior to the injury.

The wage information in this section is from:

the Injured Employee OR

a Similar Employee (If requested by the Division, the employer shall identify the similar employee whose wages were provided.)
