--------------------------------------------- ------ 
ERR Cost Factors 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
18.  HR/OE seeks to assess whether ERR costs are 
increasing over time.  While the approach below will not 
yield an exact cost, it will give a sense of direction 
without imposing a large burden on posts with many 
employees paid under ERR's. 
 
First, determine total cash compensation (base pay, 
allowances, and bonuses) for step 5 of each ERR and for 
step 5 of the same grade on the regular schedule.  Divide 
the first number by the second number, and subtract one. 
Convert to a percentage by moving the decimal point two 
places to the right.  The result will be a positive in the 
case of an upward ERR or a negative in the case of a 
downward ERR. (Example:  55,010 / 40,200 minus 1 equals 
0.37 or 37%.)  If post has more than one ERR, calculate 
the average percentage difference for each ERR, and then 
average the averages. 
 
c.  -20% to -29% 
 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Host Country Unemployment 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
19.  Host country unemployment is: 
d.  High  (10.1% to 20%) 
 
20.  Host country unemployment is high for what types of 
positions that LE Staff encumber?  Select all that apply. 
 
a.  blue collar - unskilled or semi-skilled 
b.  blue collar - skilled 
c.  clerical and secretarial 
d.  professional 
e.  high tech 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Salary Advance Plan

21.  Does post's Local Compensation Plan include a Salary 
Advance Plan (aka Salary Prepayment Plan)? 
 
b.  No 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Local Leave Plan 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
22.  Does post's Local Compensation Plan include a Local 
Leave Plan? 
 
a.  Yes 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Reduction in Force Plan 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
23.  Does post have a Reduction in Force Plan? 
 
a.  Yes 
 
24.  What is the effective date year of the RIF plan? 
 
g.  Earlier than 2000 - 1994

Handbook) most recently revised and issued to covered 
personnel? 
 
e.  2001 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Pay Cap on Annual Basic Salary 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
26.  How many LE Staff have been affected in the last year 
by the 3 FAM 7342 pay cap on annual basic salary?:  None 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Lowest Wage 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
27. What is the grade of the individual encumbering the 
position with the lowest grade on the full time workweek 
salary schedule? 
 
a.  FSN-2 (ERR Schedule) 
 
 
28.  What is annual total compensation for step 1 of the 
lowest grade specified in the answer to question 27? 
Include basic salary, all allowances, all bonuses, and the 
fair market value of USG in kind benefits (e.g., meal 
tickets) or reimbursements (e.g., commuting or education 
costs).  If benefits vary by length of service, use amount 
for a newly hired employee.  If benefits vary by family 
size, use amount paid to a married employee with two 
children.  List the total amount and the currency name 
(not acronym):  Guaranies 31,000,000. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
Medical Benefits 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
29.  How are medical benefits provided to LE Staff? 
Select all that apply, regardless of the level of 
benefits. 
 
e.  post has a private medical plan and contracts with a
