Post adjustment is a significant component of your salary, and is calculated using information obtained directly from this survey.

 

That alone should provide enough incentive to exercise your right to participate.

 

The survey provides an opportunity to determine salary levels that accurately reflect the current cost of living and expenditure patterns at your duty station.

 

If you believe that the cost of living and/or expenditure patterns of staff have changed at your duty station, or the post adjustment does not adequately reflect the cost of living there, then it is incumbent upon you to participate and register those changes.

 

The accuracy and relevance of the survey depends, to a large extent, on the level and quality of staff participation in the survey
