That's higher than ours The only benefit of our version is it's based on your highest earnings not annual average So if there's a few weeks u worked extra hours and made extra money the 55% is based on that Also do u guys have a cap? Cuz for us u can't go over $537/week (just under $2,200/month) So if ur income is high enough that 55% is over $537/week then u get less than 55% cuz that's the max Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
