Wage benefits are an established legal means for a worker injured on the job to collect a portion of their wages if they are unable to return to work for a certain number of days. Georgia workers' compensation law allows injured workers who have missed seven consecutive work days due to a workplace accident or injury to collect wage benefits (payable after 21 days from the first day of work missed).

Caps on wage benefits

Wage benefits are two-thirds of your average weekly wages, based on the wages you received for the 13 weeks leading up to the time of your accident. There is a cap on the amount of weekly wages you can receive which changes every year. The authorized doctor must say that you are disabled for work-related injuries in order to receive these benefits.

Beware: wage benefits are often miscalculated! There is a specific formula for determining the portion of your wages you should receive, yet this is often applied incorrectly. Don't be denies benefits that are owed to you!
