Summary

The measure says that when a worker who has multiple jobs is injured, the state will calculate their average weekly wage using the combined wages from all jobs, not just the job where the injury happened. It also directs the Subsequent Injury Fund to repay the employer for any additional disability payments that result from that higher wage calculation, without creating liability for other employers.
