What if a worker is employed on more than one job?
 
Answer:
If a worker is employed by more than one employer at the time of injury, the earnings from both employers are added together to calculate the average weekly wage. The worker's benefits are based on the total wages from all employments covered by the Workers' Disability Compensation Act. If the job in which the worker was injured accounts for more than 80 percent of the worker's wages, that employer is responsible for all the benefits owing. If, however, that employer was responsible for less than 80 percent of the worker's wages, it pays the entire benefits, but is reimbursed a proportional amount by the Second Injury Fund.

Section 358 also provides for a reduction in the amount of workers' compensation benefits when unemployment benefits are received from the Unemployment Insurance Agency.
