1. If the salary adjustment computation results in a decimal amount equal to 50 cents or more (based on rounding to the nearest cent), the resulting monthly salary shall be rounded up to the next whole dollar (e.g. $8655.25 x 1.08 = $9347.67 rounded to $9348.00).
2. If the salary adjustment computation results in a decimal amount equal to 49 cents or less (based on rounding to the nearest cent), the resulting monthly salary shall be rounded down to the lower whole dollar (e.g. $5678.86 x 1.08 = $6133.28 rounded to $6133.00).
