Get C394 Wage Loss

Lost wages are the money you would have earned if you were not hurt in an accident and had to miss work while you recovered. It includes all the money you would have made like your salary, tips, vacation pay, and other benefits.

If you are paid hourly, calculating your lost wages may not be very difficult. Simply take the hourly wage that you are paid and multiply it by the hours of work you have missed. This is the amount of lost wages you will want to try to recover.

In most cases, here's how these payouts are calculated: The day when the injury occurred: income must be 100% paid by the employer. On days the employee missed work: after the injury, income will be paid by the WCB ing to the provincial rate. This can be 85% to 90% based on one's take-home pay.

In fact, if you are receiving workers' comp benefits for a workplace injury, you should be able to resign from your current job without losing benefits. Leaving a job doesn't automatically end a workers' comp claim.

A Wage Loss Replacement plan is an arrangement between an employer and employee or a group or association of employees, where benefits are payable on a periodic basis if the employee suffers a loss of employment income due to an illness, maternity or accident.

Eligible individuals for wage loss will receive 85% of the gross pay the individual would have earned from work he or she would have performed had the accident not occurred.

Your wage replacement benefits start the next working day after you are injured. Your employer must pay you for the entire day the injury happened. You should receive your first wage replacement benefit payment from WCB-Alberta within 14 days of WCB-Alberta registering your new claim.
