A-3.001 - Act respecting industrial accidents and occupational diseases

Full text
50. For the purposes of determining the weighted net income that the worker could derive from the suitable employment that he becomes able to carry on full time, the Commission shall evaluate the gross annual income that the worker could derive from that employment by situating him in an income bracket and considering the lowest income in that bracket as the income that the worker could derive from that suitable employment.
However, if the Commission believes that the gross annual income the worker could derive from the suitable employment he becomes able to carry on full time is greater than the Maximum Yearly Insurable Earnings established pursuant to section 66, it shall consider the gross annual income equal to the Maximum Yearly Insurable Earnings.
The Commission shall publish every year in the Gazette officielle du Québec the table of gross annual income for suitable employments, which takes effect on 1 January of the year for which it is made.
The table shall consist of income brackets, the first being limited to not more than $1,000 from the gross annual income determined on the basis of the minimum wage in force on 1 January of the year for which the table is made, the second to $2,000 and the following brackets at $3,000 each, up to the Maximum Yearly Insurable Earnings established pursuant to section 66 for that year.
The highest income in the first income bracket is rounded off to the next lower $500.
