City Street Department Laborers are at risk when working in traffic
A city water district worker was struck by a semi-truck while marking the location of a water line. He was killed. Employees working in and around moving traffic are at a higher risk for injury causing death than say a worker serving burgers at a restaurant. That higher risk doesn't add value to a weekly workers' compensation check unless the worker is paid more. In other words your weekly compensation check depends on what you earn at the time of death. Pay increases that haven't yet kicked in yet won't help raise the weekly benefit amount. Benefits utilize wages earned in the 13 weeks previous to the injury date.
