Post adjustment is applicable to United Nations common system international staff in the professional and higher categories, and is an amount added to net base salary, in order to ensure that no matter what duty station United Nations common system staff work in, their net remuneration has a purchasing power equivalent to that of their counterparts in New York City, the base of the system. Adding post adjustment to the net base salary yields “Net Remuneration”.

 

There are several terms to be aware of for the calculation: the post adjustment (“PA”), the post adjustment index (“PAI”), and the post adjustment multiplier (“PAM”).
