To solve the situation, the deans and department chairmen have been told that employees on one plan will get 2.1 percent automatically added on, and employees on the other plan will get 3.95 percent added on. To make up the difference between the two figures, 1 .85 percent will be added to the salaries of employees receiving 2.1 percent after the salary budgets have been turned in.
