CASE STUDY

A nurse employed at a hospital on the south coast of NSW complained that the insurer had miscalculated her PIAWE. WIRO requested a copy of the insurer’s calculations. After receiving a spreadsheet from the insurer, we identified that the insurer had included seven weeks of leave without pay in the relevant period and that shift and overtime allowances had not been included. The insurer directed our concerns to the employer who was making weekly payments. After explaining the process for determining PIAWE, the worker’s weekly benefit was increased from around $800 to around $1,100 per week. The worker also received a payment for past under payments.
