Assignment pay for Unit Training Officers is calculated in accordance with what?

• A. Current pay grade and step
• B. Years of service
• C. Rank within unit
• D. Department assignment

Answer: (A)

Assignment pay for Unit Training Officers is calculated based on the current pay grade and step. This means the extra pay comes from where you are on the salary scale today—the specific grade you hold and your step within that grade—rather than how long you’ve served, or your rank within the unit, or the department to which you’re assigned. If you move up to a higher grade or step, the assignment pay changes accordingly, reflecting the new level on the pay scale. Years of service and unit rank don’t set the amount, while the unit or department designation may influence eligibility, the calculation itself uses the current pay grade and step.
