Worked example as rendered: Yearly Supplement, years experience 0 = $7,300 a year, $608.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
These are LOCAL SUPPLEMENT amounts paid on top of the NC state salary schedule, not total salary.
The document footnote states: "Master's/National Board Certification: $1,500 has been added to the base supplement".
The document footnote states: "*NBPTS 0-2 are not applicable to NBPTS" - the $8,800 shown at years 0, 1 and 2 in the second column applies to the Master's case only.
Document is stamped "Updated 8/26".
The document prints the last step as "35 +"; it is recorded here as "35+".
- Soft spot: Values fall far below the usual teacher-salary sanity band because this is a local supplement schedule, not a total-salary grid.
- Soft spot: Union County publishes no combined state-plus-local total grid; only the supplement schedule was found.
