In Episode 38, Stuart McCullough invites Daniel Pullin to discuss the topic of Accident Make Up Pay. This term, which is found in all agreements, applies when someone is either injured or ill and in receipt of worker's compensation payment. It is the difference between the compensation that the employer is receiving, and what the employee would have been paid that week if they had been able to perform their normal duties. Essentially, people on worker's compensation would be receiving less pay than if they were at work. Stuart & Daniel discuss further how Worker’s Compensation is calculated as a percentage of pre-injury average weekly earnings.
Discussion starts 2:12.
