I am still trying to figure out how my raise will be calculated once (and if!) I certify at my new transfer facility. I have reached out to the HR person who issued my FOL and she said that #2 below is correct. I am not convinced, however, as the experience of others on this website seem to mirror scenario #1. The difference is minimal, but I would still like to know. Thanks in advance to anyone who will share their input.
The pay raise is a total of 6%. Band min/max limits are not a factor in my case.
#1
Basic pay upon reporting to the facility: $92,091
6% pay increase: $92,091 x 0.06 = $5,525
Basic pay after 1/2 of the 6% increase: $92,091 + ($5,525 / 2) = $94,854
Basic pay after contractual 1.6% pay raise in June 2020: $94,854 x 1.016 = $96,372
Basic pay after 1% Presidential raise in January 2021: $96,372 x 1.01 = $97,336
Basic pay after contractual 1.6% pay raise in June 2021: $97,336 x 1.016 = $98,893
Basic pay after certification (wishful assumption of August 2021): $98,893 + (5,525 / 2) = $101,656
#2
Basic pay upon reporting to the facility: $92,091
Basic pay after 3% increase: $92,091 = $94,854
Basic pay after contractual 1.6% pay raise in June 2020: $94,854 x 1.016 = $96,372
Basic pay after 1% Presidential raise in January 2021: $96,372 x 1.01 = $97,336
Basic pay after contractual 1.6% pay raise in June 2021: $97,336 x 1.016 = $98,893
Basic pay after certification (wishful assumption of August 2021): $98,893 x 1.03 = $101,859
