A number of special policies are not included here since they do not affect 100% of the population evenly and therefore are more haphazard to compare.

For example, pay can rise from special bonuses and fall from penalties such as discount sharing, small client limits and ticket charges
Assumptions for basic pay (prior to special policies/contingent bonuses):
Does not include: T&E expense allowance, discount sharing or ticket charge expense assumptions, small household or small ticket policy assumptions, or value of any options awards.
