File NO.: 48TCBBM833921
Dear Chris:
As we discussed on August 21, 1991, I attended a conference in Augusta, Maine. Commissioner Bruce Livingston presided. Peter Mills, Esquire appeared on behalf of his client. The evidence was closed. I have not yet received wage information from you that you have requested from Sherwin-Williams to confirm that the employee's average weekly wage for the year 1989 (one year before the alleged January, 1990 injury), was $43,207.50. This would yield an average weekly wage in the amount of $830.91. Kindly review the enclosed documents (Wage Statement dated 9/22/90, 1989 W-2 form indicating earnings in the amount of $42,667.85, Sherwin-William's check stubs indicating payments of commissions and bonuses to the employee in the amount of $11,981.00) and let me know if these accurately reflect the employee's earnings. I have two weeks to forward correspondence to the Workers' Compensation Commission outlining our position if it differs from that of the employee.
Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,
