NWE is generally based on a 2-week relevant (example) period when the person was continuously employed by the Commonwealth before the date of injury.  Delegates have the discretion to determine a different example period as is considered reasonable under S8, Subsections 8(4) and 8(5) and S9, Subsections 9(2), (3) and (4).

All periods of incapacity, including periods paid while the person is serving, are counted toward the maximum rate weeks (45 weeks).
