A very good friend of mine who recently used DPMA and previously used lots of sick time at NW said the DPMA checks were a bit LESS than he would have been paid than under NW. Something to do with the percentages they use to figure out DPMA payments versus 80 hours/month at full hourly rate with all the usual fed deductions etc etc. He showed me his pay statements and calculations from DPMA. Not pretty.
