2 The above calculation is based upon an average base salary increase of 3% for one year.  Agencies may use average managerial base salary increases as a guideline for determining the current pay rate for management titles.  There may be other legal alternative methods of calculating the current pay rate for the position from which the employee retired.  Agencies may contact HRD if they wish to pursue these options.   As indicated above, it is strongly recommended that agencies document their calculation method in case they become subject to audit.
