Short Term Disability Weekly Benefit Amounts in CA?

Question

Ok so I have a few questions. My doctor wants to pull me from work for 4 weeks, so Im going to apply for short term disability. I was looking on the chart for Weekly Benefit Amounts and it says that the chart shows what your weekly benefit might be based on your highest quarter of earnings in your base period. So my 2 questions are:

1- If I received commission and bonuses, do I add that in to the equation, or is that not part of my earnings?

2- Do I count what my paycheck was (amount I received) or the amount that I was paid before taxes?

Thanks in advance!
