PUC Methodology

The calculation is performed separately for each employee with current salaries projected forward with an assumed rate of future salary .

We calculate the accrued benefit based on the rules outlined below, considering various probabilities, such as the likelihood of employees leaving the service due to resignation, death, and other factors that may arise throughout their working lives. Additionally, we consider the assumed retirement age to determine the employee’s benefits accurately. Our calculations are designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the employee’s accrued benefits.

To calculate the present value of Defined Benefit Obligations and Current Service Cost, we attribute benefits to service periods under the benefit formula. The Projected Unit Credit Method considers the current and prior periods to determine the Present Value of Defined Benefit Obligations and the current period for determining Current Service Cost.
