Every
six months, the Illinois Department of Employment Security publishes
the statewide average weekly wage (SAWW). The SAWW sets the maximum
and minimum weekly benefit levels for workers' compensation. To
calculate the SAWW, total wages are divided by the total number
of employees in the past six months. Some employees worked every
day, and some worked only a few days, but all are counted together.
(Federal workers and self-employed workers are excluded.)
