Click here for the current salary scale for staff in the Field Service category. POST ADJUSTMENT The post adjustment is one of two main elements ( base salary and post adjustment) comprising the salary of staff in the Professional and higher categories; The cost-of-living varies significantly between duty stations. (...) The surveys measure the cost-of-living of a duty station relative to the cost-of-living at the base of the system (New York) and the results are reflected in a post adjustment index for each duty station; Duty stations with higher costs of living than New York have higher post adjustment indices; Post adjustment indices for duty stations are updated monthly on the basis of prevailing local conditions; These updated post adjustment indices provide the basis for establishing the post adjustment classifications which specify the number of multiplier points of post adjustment; One multiplier point is equal to 1 per cent of base salary; Example: Post adjustment multiplier for New York (1) 67.5 Annual net salary at P-4 Step 1 (2) US$72,637.00 Annual post adjustment amount for P-4 Step 1 net (3)=[(1)/100]x (2) US$49,029.98 Monthly post adjustment (3)/12 US$ 4,085.83 The post adjustment is paid in addition to the base salary; For a staff member with a dependent spouse or child, post adjustment is calculated regardless of where the dependents resides. (...) For further information on the post adjustment system, please visit the ICSC's web site .
