s.11(2) governs assessment because Applicant was injured on his first day with this employer; trial judge rejected Applicant's unsupported claim of 26 days and Respondent's low substitute-worker average of 13 days as extremes and adopted 20 working days/month (comparable skilled carpenter basis) giving monthly earnings $14,000. The court found special circumstances under s.9(1A) and applied the Paper Mills formula using alternative earnings of $7,500/month, assessed permanent partial incapacity and awarded aggregate compensation calculated to $570,000 after deduction of advance payment.
