Are wage benefits Paid Weekly or Biweekly? How often are workers’ comp benefits paid?

In Michigan, workers’ compensation benefits are paid weekly. Payments typically start after 7 days of disability, but the first check is due on the 14th day your employer is notified. We understand many workers live paycheck-to-paycheck, so delays can be devastating. If you experience delays, reach out to the Law Offices Of David Zimmerman immediately.

How much should I receive?

Workers’ compensation payments should be 80% of your after-tax average weekly wage. This payment is calculated based on the highest 39 weeks of earnings from the previous year. This does include overtime, fringe benefits, and second jobs.

What if my checks are late?

If you have to wait more than 30 days, and there is no dispute, the insurance company will owe you a $50 daily penalty, totaling up to $1500. If your claim is denied, it is up to you to file a hearing. These disputes can take months or even years to resolve, and we heavily recommend utilizing a lawyer before taking action.
