How is differential pay determined?
Differential pay is the amount paid by the State which is the difference in military basic pay (excluding housing, subsistence allowances, etc.) and State salary (excluding any special pay such as shift premium, etc.) when military pay is less.Upon receipt of military Leave and Earnings Statement or similar document, the employee s payroll office will calculate any amount due.If the documentation is not provided until the employee returns to work, the differential pay due will be determined at that time.
