A: You get 2/3 (or 66 2/3%) of your average weekly wage up to certain limits.
Missouri law does not require your employer to pay your entire wage while off work, only 2/3 (66 2/3%) of your average weekly wage. Your average weekly wage is computed based on your gross wages (before taxes and other deductions). So, for example, if you earn $400 dollars per week, your work comp check should be $266.67 (66.7% of 400).
