Average Weekly Wage
Calculation used to determine leave benefit payments.
Definition
Average weekly wage (AWW) is a calculation used by state paid family leave and disability programs to determine benefit amounts. Methods vary by state but typically involve averaging earnings over a base period (often the highest earning quarters). AWW is then used to calculate partial wage replacement during leave.
