This Attachment is updated from the <br /> one distributed earlier to reflect current estimated <br /> Permanent Annual Salaries . <br /> For Fiscal Year 1991-92 the three pay elements represent <br /> 5 . 2 percent of payroll . This is shown in the "Total <br /> Percent" column. Attachment 2 also shows the pay package <br /> as a percent of payroll for past years . In comparison to <br /> past years, the Fiscal Year 1991-92 pay package is a <br /> lesser percent of payroll . <br /> Attachment 3 shows the results of a survey conducted by <br /> the American Compensation Association (ACA) of projected <br /> salary budget increases . According to ACA, salary budget <br /> increases include general (cost-of-living type) and merit <br /> increases and do not include other increases . On this <br /> basis, Orange County' s proposed salary budget increase <br /> would be 4 .4 percent. <br />
