According to the report, about 17 percent of employees fell into the top performance category in 2009, earning a 4 percent boost to their base salary and a $2,500 bonus. About 32 percent were in the next tier and will receive a 2 percent raise and a $1,500 bonus. Twenty-seven percent will receive a 1 percent raise and $1,000 bonus, and nearly 24 percent will receive only a $500 bonus. A small portion (0.02 percent) of employees will not receive any raise or bonus other than the cost-of-living increase, which everyone will get.
So is the yearly increase in health insurance covered by the cost-of-living increase that everybody (even those last 9 people) get, or the $500 bonus, or the 4% raise + $2500 bonus?
If the cost-of-living increase covers the health insurance rise, then 99.98% of the employees are still getting $500 or more above that. If it takes the c-o-l + $500 bonus to cover insurance, then 76 percent of the TSA are still getting at least $500 + at least a 1% raise.
