The Form 25 was revised to change paragraphs 3 and 4 in the instructions portion of the Form. Paragraphs 3 and 4 used to exclude weeks where the employee was not paid for more than 1/2 of a work week. The revised Form 25 states that weeks are excluded where the employee was paid for less than 1/2 of a work week. The change is to clarify which weeks are excluded in the calculation of the employee's average weekly wage.
The Form 32 was revised to reflect the 2015 Rules, which clarified that the statutory language of "two-thirds" should be interpreted as "0.667" for the calculation of the employee's compensation rate. The Form 32 now specifically states the calculation of the employee's compensation rate as "0.667".
