Worked example as rendered: B00, step 0 = $61,454 a year, $5,121.17 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section 105 of the AEA/ASD negotiated agreement for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The agreement prints three grids; this is the 2026-2027 one.
Members at B72 who received no step movement in the 2025-26 contract year get an in-lieu-of-step payment of $2,000 prorated by FTE.
Vertical movement is limited to two steps in any one year.
- Soft spot: The PDF uses an embedded font subset with no Unicode mapping, so the text layer had to be decoded character by character; every cell was cross-checked against the rendered page image.
- Soft spot: The agreement does not state contract days alongside the schedule (it mentions 185 workdays only for the optional flexible calendar), so work days is left null.
