What is the temporary disability rate for a baker earning $1,400 per week for an injury May 1, 2010?

• A. $881.66
• B. $916.33
• C. $933.33
• D. $986.69

Answer: (C)

Temporary disability benefits are calculated as two-thirds of the worker’s average weekly wage, with a cap set for the period. For a baker earning 1,400 per week, two-thirds is 933.33 per week. Since the 2010 maximum weekly TD rate is higher than 933.33, the benefit is not capped at a lower amount, so the weekly temporary disability rate is 933.33.
