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%.
Section 180 sets out the transitional provisions that apply to this section.
