A 5% increase is calculated by multiplying the base by 105% . To multiply, move the decimal two places to the left (105% = 1.05) .  \nExample:  \n$4,129 x 105%(or 1.05) = $4,335 .45 (rounded to $4,335)  \n• For monthly rate employees, round to the whole dollar by rounding up if first decimal place is 5 or greater.  \nExamples:  \n(5%)  \n$4,129 x 1.05 = $4,335 .45-round to $4,335  \n(5%)  \n$5,477 x 1.05 = $5,750 .85-round to $5,751  \n• For daily or hourly rate employees, round to the second decimal place by rounding up if third decimal place is 5 or greater.  \nExamples:  \n(5%)  \n$167.69 x 1.05 = $176.0745-round to $176.07  \n(5%)  \n$120.57 x 1.05 = $126.5985-round to $126.60  \n• When calculating range differentials, round percentages to the first decimal place by rounding up if the second decimal place is 5 or greater.  \nExamples:  \n$174 􀁹 $1,912 = 0.0910 = 9. 10% = 9. 1%  \n$174 􀁹 $2,424 = 0.0718 = 7. 18% = 7.2%  \n• When calculating an increase or decrease for a PUN or settlement agreement reflected as a percent, use the straight percent method (DO NOT COMPOUND) .  \nExample of 10% Decrease on $4,000 :  \n$4,000 􀁹 1.10 = $3,636 .3636-round to $3,636  \n• When calculating an increase or decrease for a PUN or settlement agreement reflected in steps, use the compound method.  \nExample of 2 step decrease on $4,000 :  \n$4,000 􀁹 1.05 = $3,809 .5238-round to $3,810  \n$3,810 􀁹 1.05 = $3,628 .5714-round to $3,629  \nDETERMINING SALARY (RELATIONSHIPS) BETWEEN CLASSES ON THE SALARY SCHEDULES  \nCALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 2, SECTION 599.674. Rate on Movement between Classes with Substantially the Same Salary Range  \nSuch movement may be in the same or to another department and by transfer, appointment from an employment list, temporary appointment, or reinstatement other than mandatory and, in addition, under Paragraph (c), by either voluntary or disciplinary demotion. The provisions of this section do not apply to demotion in lieu of layoff or demotion under Government Code section 19253.5 after medical examination.  \nExcept as provided in California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.690 for trade rate classes, the salary rate payable to a permanent or probationary employee upon movement without a break in service between classes with substantially the same salary range shall be established as follows:  \n(a) When moving to a class with the same salary range or a range not to exceed one-step higher at the maximum, the employee may, as recommended by the appointing power, receive any rate in the salary range not to exceed the total of the range differential between the maximum salary rates.  \n(b) When moving, other than from a promotional employment list, to a class with a salary range more than one-step higher at the maximum, the employee may, as recommended by the appointing power, receive any rate in the salary range not to exceed one-step above the rate last received. When moving to this class by an appointment from a promotional employment list, the employee shall be entitled to the rate in the salary range one-step above the rate last received.  \n(c) In all other instances the employee may, as recommended by the appointing power, receive any rate in the salary range not above that last received.  \nEXAMPLE: CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 2, SECTION 599.674(a)  \n1. Subtract the maximum salary rate of the “From” class from the maximum salary rate of the “To” class.  \n“From” Class “To” Class  \n$3,649 $3,753  \n(Max) (Max)  \n$4,573 $4,699  \n$4,699- $4,573 = $126  \n2. Divide the result by the maximum salary rate of the lower class in order to determine the range differential.  \n$126 􀁹 $4,573 = 0.0276 = 2.76% = 2.8%  \n3. As the result, 2.8% is less than one step, California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.674(a) is applicable and the employee may receive any rate in the s","cbCaiiVtODBqpLyf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVtODBqpLyf","pdf",147056,"English","# General Information\n## Determining Salary (Relationships) Between Classes on the Salary Schedules\n## Example: California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.674(a)\n## Example: California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.674(b)\n## Example: California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.674(c)","[{\"question\":\"What calculator precision is required for the computations described in the document?\",\"answer\":\"Set the calculator at four decimal places.\"},{\"question\":\"How should monthly rate amounts be rounded when applying a percentage increase?\",\"answer\":\"Round to the whole dollar, rounding up if the first decimal place is 5 or greater.\"},{\"question\":\"When determining salary movement between classes under California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.674, how is the range differential calculated?\",\"answer\":\"Subtract the “From” class maximum salary rate from the “To” class maximum salary rate, then divide the result by the maximum salary rate of the lower class to obtain the range differential percentage.\"}]","PS_Sec_06 - Salary Calculation Guidelines and California Salary Schedule Regulations | PDF",1789535555]
