Rounding of assessments of impairment

46C. Rounding of assessments of impairment



(1) Despite anything to the contrary in the A.M.A. Guides, in determining a
person's degree of impairment for the purposes of section 46A, 47, 54 or 55,
no number determined under the A.M.A. Guides is to be rounded up or down,
regardless of whether the number represents an initial, an intermediate, a
combined or a final value, unless the rounding is expressly required or
permitted by this Act.







(2) A number determined under the A.M.A. Guides must be rounded to the nearest
whole percent.

Example: A final degree of impairment of 9×5% must be rounded to 10%. A final
degree of impairment of 8×4% must be rounded to 8%. Note Section 180 sets out
the transitional provisions that apply to this section.
