Legal Answers
- Q. when you have surgery for workers comp one year after DOI is your rate of loss wages based on DOI or current wages?
- A: It depends whether you were working in the year following the injury. If you were unable to work after your DOI, then your rate of pay is based on your wages from before you were injured.

I would also suggest that if you want to research this on your own, then be sure to look here: https://www.nh.gov/labor/inspection/wage-hour/index.htm as these compromise NH's ... Read More
