Cost Impact · Modeling

The RFP §COMPENSATION STUDY requires the consultant to provide the cost implications of the recommended pay structure. This is what that looks like, live. Each percentage point of base movement triggers an automatic VRS employer-rate rollup (general Hybrid and Enhanced Hazardous Duty) because pension overhead moves with payroll.
