High Three-Year Average Compensation definition

High Three-Year Average Compensation means the average compensation for the three consecutive years of service (or, if the Participant has less than three consecutive years of service, the Participant’s longest consecutive period of service, including fractions of years, but not less than one year) with the employer that produces the highest average. A year of service with the employer is the 12-consecutive month period that begins on January 1 of each calendar year. In the case of a Participant who is rehired by the employer after a severance from employment, the Participant’s high three-year average compensation shall be calculated by excluding all years for which the Participant performs no services for and receives no compensation from the employer (the break period) and by treating the years immediately preceding and following the break period as consecutive. A Participant’s compensation for a year of service shall not include compensation in excess of the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code that is in effect for the calendar year in which such year of service begins.
