Allowances and no overtime
Where an employee is in receipt of allowances but no overtime, the relevant period is 2 weeks prior to the date of injury.
The NWE figure is obtained by dividing the total amount earned by the employee in this 2 weeks in half.

|
An employee is injured on 3/2/1997. Her salary is $1,500 a fortnight and she receives HDA allowance of $200 a fortnight. |
|
The total salary she earned in the two weeks prior to the date of injury was $1,700. |
|
$1,700 ÷ 2 = $850 |
