The weekly rate is sixty-six and two thirds percent of wages.  \nBody Part  Max Weeks  \nThumb 50  \nIndex first finger 30  \nAny other finger 20  \nAny toe 10  \nHand 150  \nArm 200  \nFoot 125  \nLeg 175  \nEye 100  \n*Body as a whole is not recoverable in Louisiana.  \n*Any weeks paid in TTD, SEB or PTD are applied as a credit toward any benefits that would owed for PPD benefits.  \nAVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE (AWW) LSA-R.S. 23:1021(10)  \nFull-Time Employee: (A)Hired for 40 hour and worked 40 or more. Average the hours in the 4 full weeks prior to the accident and multiply hours by the hourly rate. If average is less than 40, employee given presumption of 40 hours. (B)Hired for 40 hours but worked less “athis/her own discretion”. Calculation is the average of the earnings in the 4 full weeks prior to the accident.  \nOvertime is calculated by averaging all hours in the 4 full weeks. Multiply the straight-time rate times 40 hours and multiply the overtime rate times the hours of overtime  \nPart-Time Employee: Employer must have records showing that the employee is considered part time. Employee must knowingly accept employment for less than 40 hours per week.  \nIf the claimant has no job other than the part-time job the the calculation is an average of the hours in the 4 full weeks prior to the accident and multiply the hours times the hourly wage.  \nIf the employee has another job in addition to the part-time job than the calculation is an average of hours from all employment. If the average is more than 40, only use 40 hours. Multiply these hours times the wage rate where the accident occurred.  \nAnnual Salary Employee: calculate by dividing the annual wage by 52. Monthly Employee: Multiply monthly wage by 12 and divide 52.  \nUnit/Commission/Piece meal: Designed originally for the timber industry. Determine the gross earnings in the 26 weeks prior to the accident. Divide the gross earnings by the number of days actually worked in the same period and multiply the resulting day rate by the average number of days worked per week.  \nTIME PERIODS LSA-R.S. 23:1201  \nTTD, PTD and Death Benefits are due 14 days after employer knows of injury or death.  \nSEB’s are due on the 14th day after the employer has knowledge ofcompensable wage loss.  \nPPD benefits are due on 30th day after employer receives medical report giving notice of PPI rating.  \nMedical expenses are due on 60th day after receipt.  \nFailure to pay within the time delays can result in a penalty of $2,000 for each late payment, capped at $8,000 in penalties, as well as reasonable attorney’s fees.  \nMAXIMUM MINIMUM COMPENSATION RATES LSA-R.S. 23:1202  \nDate of Injury  Max.
