Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1-2 = $63,214 a year, $5,267.83 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Year 1 of the Neptune Township guides workbook for 2025-2028; the same workbook prints the 2025-26 base year and the 2027-28 year beside it.
Step labels are the district's own year bands, and the top step is 25 or more years.
The workbook notes that the BA column includes the athletic trainer at 1.1 on step 10-13.
Custodian, educational interpreter, NJROTC, paraprofessional, psychologist, safety, secretarial and technology guides are on other sheets of the same workbook and are excluded.
Verified by a constant lane differential the parse did not assume: every one of the fifteen rows runs BA +700, +1,000, +500, +2,000 across the five columns, and the adjacent 2025-26 and 2027-28 columns show the same pattern.
- Soft spot: Taken from the union local's published guide workbook rather than a signed agreement; the district's own website publishes no teachers' contract.
