Such deduction shall be made after any such applicable attorney fee and any such assessment made pursuant to Sections 45 and 46 of this title have been paid. Provided, however, no wages paid by the employer in excess of the statutory temporary disability maximum, pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, shall be deducted from any benefit otherwise available under this title.
