724 P.2d 519 (1986)

Orval L. RAGLAND, Appellant, v. MORRISON-KNUDSEN CO., INC., Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., Crawford and Company, and Alaska Workers' Compensation Board, Appellees.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

August 29, 1986.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Chancy Croft, Fairbanks, for appellant.

Dennis E. Cook, Schaible, Staley, DeLisio & Cook, Inc., Anchorage, for appellees.

Before RABINOWITZ, C.J., and MATTHEWS, BURKE, COMPTON and MOORE, JJ.

OPINION

COMPTON, Justice.

The sole issue in this workers' compensation case is whether the value of fringe benefits paid by the employer on the employee's behalf should be considered "wages" for the purpose of computing the employee's average weekly wage. We conclude that the readily identifiable and calculable value of fringe benefits should be included in the wage determination.
