Worked example as rendered: T-4 Bachelor, years of creditable experience 0,1,2 = $56,784 a year, $4,732.00 a month spread over 12 months, $298.86 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Annual ('TOTAL') rates assume the full 190-day work term in full-time status; the schedule also prints a daily rate for each cell and pays additional workdays at that daily rate.
The document labels each column twice: a district step code (E, 1-7, L1-L6) and years of creditable experience. The years row is used for the step labels here because the step codes repeat.
The PDF states the schedule is not official until adopted by the Forsyth County Board of Education.
- Soft spot: In the T-6 Specialist block the years row reads '25+' where the other three lanes read '25'; treated as the same step.
