Backward projection by a constant percentage (Supplemental Worker Info form)

Earnings may be projected backward by one of two methods:

• by the percentage increase in average wages for each year, plus a constant salary scale percentage, or
• by a constant percentage.

Choose "In line with average wage increases" to project backward by a percentage related to the growth in average wages, or "Constant percentage increase" to project backward by a constant percentage.

Check this button if you want to project earnings prior to the first year of entered earnings by a constant percentage. You can then specify the years for which earnings are projected backward, and the constant percentage.
