Employer Update

What should I report for an employee’s creditable compensation?

Creditable compensation is the member’s current annual base salary, excluding:

• Overtime, bonus pay and extraordinary pay.
• Vehicle allowances and housing and moving expenses.
• Termination pay for leave.
• Non-permanent shift differentials.
• Mobile device and internet costs.
• Payments for extra duties, such as pay for teachers who serve as coaches.
• For state agencies subject to DHRM policy, acting pay is generally not allowable in creditable compensation.
