§ 65.115. Ascertainment of full-time weekly wage.
The full-time weekly wage of an employe shall be that wage which an employe would receive if he were employed for a full-time week of not less than 5 full work days, and shall be ascertained as follows:
(1) In all cases, the wages paid by the employer from whom the claimant earned the greatest amount of wages in his base year, as shown on the Notice of Financial Determination (Form UC-44F), shall be used as the basis for ascertaining the full-time weekly wage. If the claimant was paid at more than one wage rate based upon a unit of time by the employer, the wage rate at which he earned the greatest amount of wages in his base year shall be used.
(2) In all cases, the full-time weekly wage shall be computed to the nearest dollar.
(3) If the wages are fixed by the week, the amount so fixed shall be the full-time weekly wage.
(4) If the wages are fixed by the month, the full-time weekly wage shall be the monthly wage so fixed, multiplied by 12 and divided by 52.
(5) If the wages are fixed by the year, the full-time weekly wage shall be the yearly wage so fixed, divided by 52.
(6) If the wages are fixed by the day, the full-time weekly wage shall be the daily wage rate multiplied by not less than five.
(7) If the wages are fixed by the hour, the full-time weekly wage shall be the hourly wage rate multiplied by the regularly scheduled number of hours in a full-time work day, and the result multiplied by not less than five.
(8) If the wages are fixed on a piece rate or tonnage basis, the full-time weekly wage shall be determined as follows:
(9) Wages earned in the calendar quarter in which the claimant’s earnings were the greatest in his base year shall be divided by the actual number of hours worked for the wages to establish the average hourly rate. The average hourly rate thus obtained shall be multiplied by the regularly scheduled number of hours in a full-time work day and the result multiplied by not less than five.
(10) If the wages are fixed on a combination of an hourly wage rate plus a piece work or tonnage rate, the full-time weekly wage shall be determined by the piece rate method, as explained in this section.
