<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It will be off of what the pay would have been each year if you had been actually promoted

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I guess my 1st question would be why the almost 6 year delay in promotion and then it would probably help explain the adjusted proper back pay.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Backpay is calculated at the pay rate effective for that year/month of accrual.
