Re: Seasonal Worker on Workers Comp, Need Help, Mass
but the problem is that in Mass they average you earnings from over the last year to figure wage replacements and this does not include the wages I earned from Job B and Job C.
That's not correct.
According to what I see "Concurrent employment, roughly defined as earnings from additional jobs with an employer covered
by the workers’ compensation statute, usually is included in the calculation of an average weekly wage"
2. Average Weekly Wage disability payments are based on the worker’s average weekly wage. The average weekly wage is usually calculated by averaging the fifty-two weeks prior to the employee’s date of injury. Overtime work and bonuses should be included in the calculation. Concurrent employment, roughly defined as earnings from additional jobs with an employer covered
by the workers’ compensation statute, usually is included in the calculation of an average weekly wage. Some fringe benefits are included in the calculations but others are
not. Lodging and transportation allowances are frequently included. Health insurance is not included.

You should consult an attorney to be sure you're getting a fair deal, sounds like you're getting screwed to me.
