R 421.254 Value of lost remuneration.

Rule 254. If the value of lost remuneration is unknown, it shall be computed in the following manner: (a) The total earnings of the worker with the employer (or employing unit) during the calendar week covered by the claim, exclusive of earnings for overtime work, shall be divided by the total number of hours, exclusive of overtime hours, worked during the calendar week. The value of the lost remuneration shall be the result obtained by multiplying the hourly rate so arrived at by the number of hours lost during such calendar week for any reason other than the failure of the employer to furnish full-time employment. (b) In the absence of any circumstances to the contrary, a work week of 40 hours shall be deemed to be a normal week for the purposes of this rule.
