Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Personal services increase based on the following:
Approximately 5,500 DOH employees with the assumption that 25% qualify for the additional $10K locality pay differential. This totals 1,375 employees. 1,375 employees multiplied by the highest differential pay ($10K) equals $13.75M. Employer benefit costs are also included in the estimate above ($9.075M). Total personal service expense would increase by $22.825M per year.
