Common use of Offset Compensation Clause in Contracts

Offset Compensation. A Participant’s Offset Compensation is used to determine a Participant’s Stated Benefit under an Offset Benefit formula. Unless modified under Part 3, #12 of the Agreement, Offset Compensation is the average of a Participant’s annual Included Compensation over the three (3) consecutive Plan Years ending with the current Plan Year. A Participant’s Offset Compensation is taken into account only to the extent it does not exceed the Integration Level under the Plan. For purposes of determining a Participant’s Offset Compensation, Included Compensation which exceeds the Taxable Wage Base in effect for the beginning of a Measuring Period will not be taken into account.
