 at a rate higher than 150 percent of the sum of the weighted 
 average wage rate, plus a factor determined by the commissioner 
 to incorporate payroll taxes as defined in Minnesota Rules, part 
 9549.0020, subpart 33, for the applicable employee 
 classification for the geographic group to which the nursing 
 home is assigned under Minnesota Rules, part 9549.0052.  The 
 weighted average wage rates must be determined by the 
 commissioner of human services and reported to the commissioner 
 of health on an annual basis.  Wages are defined as hourly rate 
 of pay and shift differential, including weekend shift 
 differential and overtime.  Facilities shall provide information 
 necessary to determine weighted average wage rates to the 
 commissioner of human services in a format requested by the 
 commissioner.  The maximum rate must include all charges for 
 administrative fees, contract fees, or other special charges in
