Tip #80 - How to Make Entries for Loss Wages

Plaintiff’s loss wages are a usual and common claim in a personal injury matter. Loss wages are entered on the Employment Page. In order to enter loss wages, however, you must enter the employment information first.

First, go to the Employment Page and click the “Add Employment Details” button in the top left corner of the page. The “Add/Edit Employment Details” dialog box will appear. Entry on this page is pretty straight forward. The two mandatory fields that must be populated are Plaintiff Name and Employer Name. You will be able to enter other details such as Date Hired, Job Title, Salary, Other Compensation, etc.

After you have entered and saved the Employment Details, you will see a plus (‘+’) sign to the left of the Plaintiff’s name on the Employment Page.

Click on the plus sign to open a new dialog box to reveal the “Add Loss Wages” and “Add Payment/Adjustment” options.
