Non-standard rates

To calculate the increase to an agreement that contains non-standard rates, you will need to calculate the difference between the non-standard rate set out in that agreement and the CS or SFI equivalent.

To do this:

1. Identify the non-standard HLS rates from your agreement document.
2. Where there is an equivalent CS or SFI option in the table, subtract the HLS rate listed in your agreement from the CS or SFI rate.
3. Calculate 34.4% of the difference and add to the original HLS rate listed in the agreement document 鈥� this is the new rate.
