Compensation and death benefits are generally based on the employee's "average monthly wage" at the time of the industrial injury. The maximum average monthly wage has historically been a statutorily stated, specific amount. The Legislature would, from time to time, amend the statute to provide for an increased amount. When the Legislature amended the average monthly wage statute in 2007, see A.R.S. § 23-1041, the Legislature added a provision that provided for an annual adjustment ("indexing") of the average monthly wage for injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2010. This provision directed the Industrial Commission to adopt an amount that reflects the annual percentage increase in the Arizona mean wage and to increase the average monthly wage by that amount. The Commission is directed to adopt such an amount by August 1 of each year to be effective for the following calendar year. This indexing provision adjusts the maximum average monthly wage using Bureau of Labor occupational employment statistics coded for all occupations. The table below provides an archive of resolutions the Industrial Commission has adopted to establish the maximum average monthly wage under A.R.S. § 23-1041 as amended.
