What is the post adjustment index? What is the post adjustment multiplier?
The post adjustment index (PAI) for a given duty station is an index that ensures that the net remuneration at the duty station has a purchasing power equivalent to that in New York. This index is based on the difference in the cost of living between the duty station and New York. The post adjustment multiplier (PAM), also known as the post adjustment classification (PAC), determines the post adjustment amount that is added to the net base salary to produce a net remuneration that has purchasing power parity with New York. In principle, the PAM is obtained by subtracting 100 from the PAI. However, the determination of the actual multiplier is subject to several administrative rules and procedures governing the post adjustment system which have been approved over the years by the Commission and the General Assembly. These rules and procedures are based on practical or financial considerations with very little relationship to the measurement of the cost of living at the duty stations. Co
