assessment rate for Non-Represented Staff employees was increased to 1.34
percent from 0.5 percent (January to June 2006). This temporary increase was
necessary to make up the shortfall created from July 2005 to December 2005 when
the assessment was set at 0.5 percent. The correct assessment rate for
fiscal year 2005/06 is 0.92 percent per month.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

increase only affected Non-Represented employees in the Management and Senior
Professional (MSP) staff personnel program. The SRD assessment rate for
the Non-Represented Professional and Support (PSS) staff continued to be
assessed at the 0.5 percent. This error was caused by an omission in
coding from the Office of the President. We have been asked to increase
the assessment rate drastically for the last two months remaining in this
fiscal year to make up the shortfall.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

in order to make up for the amounts which were not assessed from June 2005 to
December 2005, when the assessment rate was 0.50 percent. The name on PPS
