Holiday Inn v. Pope

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Sep 18, 1981
402 So. 2d 1303 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981)

Opinion

No. SS-212.

August 17, 1981. Rehearing Denied September 18, 1981.

Janet L. Brown of Haas, Boehm, Brown Rigdon, P.A., Orlando, for appellants.

Steven Burrage of Robert D. Melton, P.A., Orlando, for appellee.


Holiday Inn and General Adjustment Bureau appeal the deputy commissioner's order asserting four points as error. We affirm all points except the deputy commissioner's computation of the claimant's average weekly wage. In computing Pope's average weekly wage, the deputy commissioner included $7.50 in tips which were not reported to the employer. Unreported wages may not be included in the wage computations. Section 440.02(12) Fla. Stat. (Supp. 1978). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for recomputation of appellee's average weekly wage.

MILLS, McCORD and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
