Alabama Workers' Compensation Rate Change Effective July 1, 2016
Beginning July 1, 2016, the maximum worker’s compensation payable was raised to $832 per week and the minimum was raised to $229 per week. This change was based on the Commissioner of Labor’s determination that the State’s average weekly wage was $831.88 in the calendar year 2015, and the change is effective for any injury occurring on or after July 1, 2016.
