| PART VII, SECTION A, COLUMN (F) - ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF OTHER COMPENSATION: | $7,667,889 OF COLUMN F AMOUNT REPRESENTS THE INCREASE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE IN DEFINED BENEFITS CALCULATED BY THE PLAN ACTUARY. THESE AMOUNTS REPORTED ARE NOT ACTUAL OUTLAYS TO THE OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND HIGHLY COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES. The 2013 pension accrual reflects the effect of a change in assumptions used to determine the present value of pension benefits earned under the AFSCME Employees Pension Plan. The updated calculation assumes that plan participants will elect to retire and begin receiving benefits at the earliest date that they are eligible for an unreduced benefit. The previous calculation assumed that most participants would work past this date, thereby deferring the commencement of pension benefits. This change increases the estimated value of pension benefits. The full effect of this one-time adjustment is included in the 2013 pension accrual, although most of the benefits to which this calculation relates were earned in prior years. |
