Performance Based Pay: The funding of a performance pay pool consists of the money allocated for performance-based payouts for a defined group of employees. The amount of money available within a pay pool is normally based on the money that would have been available for within-grade increases, quality step increases, promotions between grades that have been banded in the NSPS pay system, and applicable across-the-board pay increases. Funds previously used for end-of-rating cycle performance awards or incentive awards may also be used to fund the pay pool. The across-the board pay increases should not be included in this definition, because they will generally go into the rate-range-adjustments if the bottom of the scale is adjusted. By putting this definition in both places it is confusing.
