All applicable DWC rules can be found at www.tdi.state.tx.us The Texas Workers' Compensation Act and Workers' Compensation rules require an employer to provide an Employer's Wage Statement to its workers' compensation insurance carrier (carrier) and the claimant or the claimant's representative, if any. The purpose of the form is to provide the employee's wage information to the carrier for calculating the employee's Average Weekly Wage (AWW) to establish benefits due to the employee or a beneficiary. The AWW for a school district employee is computed based upon the wages earned in a week. "Wages earned in a week" are equal to the amount that would be deducted from an employee's salary if the employee were absent from work for one week and the employee did not have personal leave to compensate the employee for the lost wages from that week. NOTE - An employer who fails without good cause to timely file a complete wage statement as required by the Texas Workers' Compensation Act, Texas Labor Code, Section 408.063(c) and Workers' Compensation Rule 120.4 may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed $500.00 for an initial offense and not to exceed $10,000.00 for a repeated administrative violation.
