ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

Appellant's motion for rehearing is denied, 437 So.2d 678 (Fla.App. 1983). Section 440.15(3)(b)(1), Florida Statutes (1979) specifically subjects wage-loss benefits to the maximum compensation rate. The constitutionality of the wage-loss statute has already been upheld. Acton v. Ft. Lauderdale Hospital, 418 So.2d 1099 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).
