Haw. Code R. § 12-11-18 - Wages to be used in determining benefit rate
(a) In
determining the benefit rate for plan evaluation, the normal weekly earnings
paid under regular employment practices will generally be used as "weekly
wages". However, I for any extended period of time employees regularly receive
extra wages including, without limitation, overtime or premium pay, it may be
required that benefits be determined on the total of normal and such extra
wages.
(b) If, under a plan,
benefits are to be provided in accordance with classification will generally be
used as the weekly wage in determining the benefit rate for plan evaluation.
For those employees whose average weekly wages is $20 or more and less than $40
per week, the benefit rate for plan evaluation will be computed by dividing the
actual cash benefit to which the employee is entitled by $40. If the employer
submits a wage schedule showing for each wage classification a distribution of
employees by wages (up to weekly wages equal to the maximum weekly wage base),
the weekly wage to be used for plan evaluation will be the average wage of the
employees included in the classification, but not less than $5 under the
maximum wage of the classification.
