earned monthly by him or her, does not exceed the amount of the
compensation that would be earnable by a person holding the same or
an equal position as or to that which he or she held at the time of
his or her retirement, and in the same salary step or rating, or if
no such position then exists, the compensation earnable immediately
prior to its abolition.
