Rob was injured at work with a complex employment history involving multiple job roles and earnings. To determine Rob's Average Weekly Wage (AWW), we analyze his various roles, salaries, and work schedules. This includes accounting, dispatcher work, cashiering at an amusement park, and logging company engagements. We need to consider regular earnings, weeks worked, seasonal employment, and exclude certain earnings to accurately calculate his AWW.
