Ogilvie: You’re working too hard
Even this guy can do the Ogilvie adjustment calculation in his head
If you’re using my Ogilvie calculator for situations involving a 100% earnings loss, you’re working too hard. [1]
If you have 100% earnings loss and WPI less than 45, the Ogilvie adjustment formula will always result in WPI + 18.
Not to worry. I can make Ogilvie even easier:
The Ogilvie mathematical proof has been available for several weeks for peer review. I’ve only received positive feedback.[2] The above Ogilvie Adjustment Chart has been testing by myself and other workers’ compensation attorneys, but like everything else on this site is provided subject to all legal disclaimers.
Here’s a peek at what they look like:
