Level 2 Merit applied up to the new range maximum; not eligible for a lump sum bonus.

Level 3 Merit applied up to the new range maximum; half of lump sum bonus, prorated based on FTE.

Level 4 Merit applied up to the new range maximum; full lump sum bonus, prorated based on FTE.

2014 rate (as of 1/5/14): $20.68 (new maximum)Merit bonus amount: $270.40

((current rate x (1+ merit %)) – range maximum) x (2080 x FTE) x .5

((20.38 x 1.0275) – 20.68) x (2080 x 1) x .5(20.94 – 20.68) x 2080 x .5 = 270.40
