What is a benefit rate?

Usually your benefit rate is 2/3 of your average weekly wage. But there is a maximum, so you may not get 2/3 of what you were earning. The amount is based on what you actually earned. If you are below the maximum, you may be able to include profit sharing benefits, vacation, holidays, and overtime.
