The City of Palmdale has adopted the above subject which provides for the inclusion of normal member contributions paid by the employer on behalf of the members as additional compensation through PERS. The employer paid member contributions (EPMC) will be considered additional PERS compensation. The City's take is that reporting the value of EPMC should have no effect on the calculations the City makes for overtime or other special payments employees may receive as a factor of base salary. This benefit is not subject to state and federal income taxes, social security or medicare taxes. The City does not consider the additional PERS compensation credited each year as taxable wages to the employee. I would appreciate any comments from others with a similar PERS situation. Thanks, Bill Ramsey City of Palmdale
