While at the World Bank, she earns a salary of $5,000 per month. Rule 117(b) ensures that the contributions made towards her leave salary are calculated based on her salary at the World Bank, so that when she takes leave, she receives leave salary equivalent to what she would have received had she been working in the Ministry of Finance, considering her pay scale and applicable rules.
