FreeThe Comp Desk was born in hearings. As a practicing NYS Workers' Compensation attorney, I found myself doing the same calculations by hand, over and over — AWW, SLU percentages, fee applications, LWEC brackets. Every other attorney in the room was doing the same thing on scraps of paper or clunky spreadsheets.
So I built the tool I wished existed. One app that does everything: calculates awards on the fly, checks a doctor's ROM finding against the Permanency Guidelines, generates the fee app equation ready to copy, and looks up any statutory rate back to 1985.
But this isn't just for attorneys. Every injured worker in New York State deserves to understand their benefits. The free tier of The Comp Desk puts the same calculation power in your hands — so you can verify your award, understand your rights, and make informed decisions about your case.
Know your comp. Fight for your rights.
