The Average Weekly Wage pursuant to Illinois Workers Compensation Act is to be calculated as the actual earnings of the employee in the employment in which he was working at the time of the injury during the period of 52 weeks preceding the date of injury divided by 52. 820 ILCS 305/10 (West 2010). Traditionally this formula has been construed as the amount of money made by the injured worker at the employer, divided by the weeks/days worked.
