Q. I am a USFS firefighter with 17 years of 6c covered firefighter/law enforcement service. If I take a temporary promotion/detail in a non-6c covered position during my last 3 years of service (my high 3), will this higher salary be included in my high-3 calculations?
A. Your high-3 is based on the average of your highest three consecutive years (78 biweekly pay periods) of basic pay, wherever they occur in your career.
