Who is responsible for the DWC Form-003ME, Employee’s Multiple Employment Wage Statement?
An injured employee that has more than one job at the time of their injury is responsible for filing a completed DWC Form-003ME with their insurance carrier and Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC). The injured employee should have each non-claim employer complete the form.

Where do I send this form?
Once completed, the injured employee must send a copy to the insurance carrier and to DWC:

This is an employer other than the claim employer by whom the employee was employed at the time of the on-the-job injury (28 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Section 122.5(a)(2)).

How do I report wages?
Report only wages that are reported for federal taxes paid in the 13 weeks before the date of injury according to the employee’s pay period. Employers may report 14 weeks if paid biweekly or three months if paid monthly. In all cases, list the dates that each period covers.

  • If the employee was not employed for 13 weeks before their injury, report wages of an employee who has the training, experience, skills, same pay, and same number of hours (28 TAC Section 122.5(e)(2)).
  • If no similar employee exists, report all wages the injured employee earned before the injury.
