Administrative Rules of Montana › Department 2 - ADMINISTRATION › Chapter 2.43 - PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT BOARD › Subchapter 2.43.21 - Membership Service and Service Credit › Rule 2.43.2110 - CALCULATION OF HIGHEST AVERAGE COMPENSATION WITH LUMP-SUM PAYMENTS

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) For applicable systems, lump-sum payments
				made upon termination of employment and for which required contributions have
				been made for paid leave, including banked holiday time, vacation, personal,
				sick, or compensatory leave may be included in the calculation of a member's
				highest average compensation (HAC) by replacing lower consecutive compensation
				months with the same number of higher consecutive compensation
				months.
(2) The number of
				replacement months and the amount of compensation included in the replacement
				months is determined by either:
(a) dividing
				the lump-sum payment by the regular hourly rate in effect for the employee at
				the time of termination, or the monthly salary earned at the time of
				termination; or
(b) for members
				whose monthly compensation varies, multiplying their hourly rate times 2,080
				(the assumed number of hours worked in a fiscal year) divided by 12 to
				determine the monthly wage and then dividing the lump-sum payment by the
				monthly wage.
