SECTION 1A4.031 FUTURE SALARY SCHEDULE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY.
In order to maintain accuracy and consistency, the methodology used
in computing future salary adjustments shall be as follows:
Future adjustments are to be computed from the amount shown in
the box below Ranges 483 -F, 583 -F, 497 -E, 597 -E, 510 -E, and 610E of
the Basic Salary Schedule which shall be multiplied by the percent of
the adjustment, e.g. 5% increase = F x 1.05 (Ranges 483 and 583) or
E x 1.05 (Ranges 497, 597, 510 and 610) using a 12 -digit calculator.
All other calculations shall be based on this new amount. Each salary
step shall be calculated by using the raw unrounded figure in the
calculator for the previous salary step. Once all of the salary steps
have been computed, each salary figure shall be rounded off to two (2)
decimal places (i.e. if the third decimal place is 5 or greater, the
second digit is rounded up 1 cent; if 4 or lower the second digit
would remain unchanged) which then shall comprise the then current
salary schedule. Other steps within the range shall be calculated by
multiplying or dividing the nearest step by the one being calculated
as indicated below:
