New Formula For Figuring Compensation
The Virginia Advisory Legislative Council endorsed a new method to set workmen’s compensation. If passed, maximum benefits would equal the state’s average weekly industrial wage, about 141 dollars, boosting top benefits by at least 50 dollars weekly from the current 91. The plan also changes minimum benefits to 25 percent of the average weekly wage and adopts a cost-of-living style rule using the previous year’s wage.
