Worked example as rendered: BACH, step 2 = $61,410 a year, $5,117.50 a month spread over 12 months, $331.95 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Taken from the "Teachers" page of the 2023-2026 Units A & B updated EAW salary schedules, using the last grid printed for the contract: 92nd day of the 2025-2026 school year, with Step 10 raised 1.0 percent.
The grid excludes Vocational School Trade Teachers and Vocational School Department Heads, who have their own schedule in the same document.
Step 1 was eliminated as of the first day of 2025-2026, so the schedule starts at Step 2.
The 2025-2026 year is a 185 day work year per the schedule heading.
The header column reads "CAGS/Equiv/2MA/Specialist" across two printed lines.
- Soft spot: The 2022-2026 agreement runs out after 2025-26 and no successor grid is posted, so this is the latest published Worcester schedule as of September 2026.
- Soft spot: Longevity and stipend tables in the same document are not included here.
