Stat Pay Ontario 2015 Calculator

STAT Pay (Statutory Accident Benefits) is a form of workers' compensation in Ontario that provides temporary financial support to employees who are injured or become ill while at work. This calculator helps you determine your STAT Pay benefits based on your salary and hours worked in 2015.

What is STAT Pay?

STAT Pay is a temporary benefit provided by the Ontario government to workers who are injured or become ill while on the job. It is designed to provide financial support while the worker recovers and returns to work.

The amount of STAT Pay is based on the worker's average weekly earnings and the number of hours they worked before the injury or illness occurred. The benefit rate is set by the government and may change over time.

STAT Pay is different from other forms of workers' compensation in that it provides a fixed weekly benefit amount rather than a percentage of lost wages.

How to Calculate STAT Pay

To calculate your STAT Pay benefits, you need to know your average weekly earnings and the number of hours you worked before the injury or illness occurred. The calculation involves multiplying your average weekly earnings by the STAT Pay benefit rate.

The STAT Pay benefit rate for 2015 was 55% of the worker's average weekly earnings. This means that for every dollar you earned in a week, you would receive 55 cents in STAT Pay benefits.

STAT Pay = Average Weekly Earnings × STAT Pay Benefit Rate

Formula

The formula for calculating STAT Pay is straightforward. You multiply your average weekly earnings by the STAT Pay benefit rate to determine your weekly benefit amount.

STAT Pay = (Average Weekly Earnings) × (STAT Pay Benefit Rate)

The STAT Pay benefit rate for 2015 was 55%.

For example, if your average weekly earnings were $1,000, your STAT Pay benefits would be $550 per week.

Example Calculation

Let's say you earned $1,200 per week on average and worked 40 hours per week before your injury. Here's how to calculate your STAT Pay benefits:

Determine your average weekly earnings: $1,200
Apply the STAT Pay benefit rate of 55%: $1,200 × 0.55 = $660
Your weekly STAT Pay benefit would be $660

This means you would receive $660 per week in STAT Pay benefits while you recover from your injury.
