Florida Contractor Practice Exam

To determine the workers' compensation benefit at 66.66%, you start by calculating what 66.66% of the employee's weekly earnings is. The employee earns $210 per week.

First, you convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives you 0.6666. Then, you multiply this decimal by the employee's earnings:

0.6666 × $210 = $140.

This calculation shows that the benefit amount for one week of workers' compensation at the stated percentage of the employee’s earnings is indeed $140.

This is based on the statutory formula used to set workers' compensation benefits, which aims to provide a portion of the employee's earnings to assist them financially while they are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness.
