Other pay could be non-pensionable payments. Education or fitness incentives. Certain departments total compensation is bullshit. If they are self insured... they can claim health benefits cost whatever they want to say. So they often inflate those numbers to show better "compensation". Example... say health benefits really only cost $250/mo.... dept will say it costs $1000. That will show up as "pay".
A friend of mine was approached by the Masonic Temple. They told him that most of the police and firefighters were Masons... Hmm extra pay for Satan?
Yeah, I'm suspicious of what "other pay" means.
